It certainly seems to be. Although the thread meantioned below also
throws suspicion on ghostscript. After some poking around (Google, HPLIP
support site [which is a real PITA to navigate]) I managed to find this
thread;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/578920
Which offers a workaround. It worked for me, but I'm not sure whether
it will for you as the symptoms aren't the same (black o/p instead of
yellow/cream).
Here's what to do:
Edit;
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf
Change;
PS2PDF_OPTIONS="$PS2PS_OPTIONS -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dUseCIEColor"
to;
PS2PDF_OPTIONS="$PS2PS_OPTIONS -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer"
It worked for me. No doubt, at the next upgrade, things will get
changed back but hopefully, the bug will be fixed before that.
