Desperate plea for help! For several days now I haven't been able to print
anything at all. I've removed hplip and reinstalled it. Run hp-setup and got
both printers recognised. Checked CUPS settings. At the end of that neither
of the printers can do anything. Print jobs go, but the printer then pauses
with the report "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed".
I'm now desperate. There are so many things that depend on printing. What
could possibly be wrong?

Any hints in /var/log/cups/error_log ?

I have the same problem and I have pinpointed it to:
# yum downgrade ghostscript ghostscript-devel
FWIW I had to run as root
ldconfig -v
after the previous command.
I suspect that last update of ghostcript (in updates-testing) has gone
berserk.

Thanks. I've grabbed that, but although I know how to do a localinstall, I'm
having problems finding a way to local-update. Do I have to create a repo
file for my Download directory?

If you have all the RPMs in a directory, you can just do
yum localupdate dir/*.rpm
(may need --nogpgcheck, dunno if the RPMs are signed yet)

Looks as though José's suggestion of replacing ghostscript is probably the
answer.

You are right here, they are not signed yet.

Thanks everybody. That's solved it. I've just printed a test page to
both
printers. Now I can get some work done ;-)
