I'm happy to report that I seem to have found a
way for my HP Color LaserJet 2550L to work with
version 1.4.8-2 of cups.
I basically
a.) deleted the existing printer at Cups'
administration web page, and
b.) added it back with the utility named
"hp-setup".
Here are details:
1.) I opened a web browser (Iceweasel) and pointed
it at Cups' administration port on localhost
localhost:<port>
2.) I clicked on Administration->Manage
Printers->hp_color_LaserJet_2550->Administration->Delete
Printer
3.) I clicked on the "Home" tab at
localhost:<port>. I don't know if this step was
necessary, but I mention it to be complete.
4.) In an xterm(inal) as the root user, I ran
$ hp-setup -b usb
and if I recall correctly, accepted all the
default options, including the suggested .ppd
file.
5.) Back in localhost:<port> I clicked on
Administration->Manage
Printers->hp_color_LaserJet_2550->Maintenance->Print
Test Page.
It worked.
Printing pdf files from the viewer named "evice",
and a png file from the "gimp" also worked.
I haven't tried re-booting yet, so I do not know
if the new configuration would survive it.
