Hi,

i have the following setup:
ibm thinkpad, hp deskjet 1120C, actual gentoo linux, cups 1.1.18, ghostscript 7.05.5, hpijs 1.2.2, foomatic 2.0.0. printing works, after i configure the printer in the following way and restart cupsd after that.

what follows is an exact description of what i did.

start control center -> peripherals -> printer -> administrator mode -> add -> add printer/class... -> next -> local printer -> next -> hewlett-packard 1120C -> next -> HP -> deskjet 1120C -> (the foomatic-hpijs driver is chosen automatically) next -> driver information.
here the window is higher than my screen, perhaps you can replace this dialog box with one, which contains a QTextView, so that the text gets a vertical scrollbar automatically, when it gets too big for the size you give to the dialog box.
so after moxing the window up with alt-left mouse button and moving the mouse up, i clicked ok -> next -> test.
the printer started printing, but it printed the following as text:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
                        %%Boundingbox: 0 0 612 792
                                                                    %%Pages: 1

you get the idea, the postscript file is printed as text and not fed through the filters to create a rasterized output.

then i finished the configuration in the normal way, gave the printer the name dj-hpijs-test and changed nothing else. after that i turned the printer off and on several times, so that no garbage was in the buffers of the parport and i verified, that the cupsd had no child anymore, so nothing wanted to print.

then i restarted cupsd and in the still opened printer config window i right-clicked on dj-hpijs-test anc chose test printer.
this time it printed the test page as it should.

i did the same with the gimp-print driver, and it also didn
