Will do so when I manage to get the package.  Which repository is it in?  
I currently have:

mail:~# apt-cache policy foo2zjs
foo2zjs:
  Installed: 20090301dfsg-2
  Candidate: 20090301dfsg-2
  Version table:
 *** 20090301dfsg-2 0
        990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

aptitude install foo2zjs=20090301dfsg-3 doesn't find the new version.  
However, going through the getweb script I can see that adding the putw 
call to getweb for [pP]100[57] should fix the problem, so not too 
concerned about that issue at the moment :)

Yes, with the upgrade to hplip 3.9.2-3 it seems to be working fine, at 
least with the test cases I have been using (print a file containing a 
single line).  Earlier version of hplip which used to cause problems 
was was 2.8.6.b-4.  The error isn't there in the logs anymore either 
with the new version.

Thanks for all the help!
