[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#372782: Wrong drivers? (CUPS v1.1 drivers with CUPS v1.2)

[nils]

I had exactly the same symptoms:
on upgrading to CUPS 1.2.1-3 (current version; don't know
when bug appeared, as I don't print often), my printer
(HP 1320nw) stopped working.

Starring at the admin screen, I realized that it read
something like:

Make and Model: HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5 CUPS v1.1

...and realized that the problem was that CUPS was using an
-old- driver.

I went through the "Modify Printer" dialog and changed the
driver version, so it now reads:

Make and Model: HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5 CUPS v1.2

...and it immediately worked.

I don't know if this caused everyone's problems,
but it certainly caused mine -- the printer immediately worked.
