I found my old ppd file on my other computer! The only difference from
the shipped version is the Postscript "LanguageLevel", which is set to
"2" instead of "3". Fortunately, the PPD is supplied under an MIT
license, so I was able to attach it to this comment in case it is useful
to somebody else.
On my 2025dn, the "preferred" driver ("HP Color LaserJet cp2025dn hpijs
pcl3, 3.10.9 [en]") makes for rasterized output that is not nearly as
pretty as the output from the "HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series with
Duplexer Postscript [en]" driver. Yes, that driver plots some characters
incorrectly, but
In Ubuntu, the PostScript PPD files of HPLIP are supplied via a
compressed PPD archive. The archive is
/usr/lib/cups/driver/hplip
You see its content via
/usr/lib/cups/driver/hplip list
and extract a PPD from it via
/usr/lib/cups/driver/hplip cat
To temporarily deactivate it, do

Hi Marc,
This is bit surprising. May be you installed hplip-3.11.7 from ubuntu's
synaptic package manager.
Printer cannot return the ppd file. Its the drivers job to select the correct
ppd for the printer.
Can you install the latest hplip-3.11.10 from hplip-3.11.10.tar.gz. You can
download the
So, I don't have a /usr/share/ppd/HP directory. I do have a
/usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP directory, but it doesn't contain that
particular ppd file.
I'm quite stumped, as I even tried searching for it with find / -name
"hp-color_laserjet_cp2025dn-ps.ppd*" and that didn't turn up any
results.

Hi Marc,
cups / hplip search the ppd file for the printer based on the printer name and
in ubuntu it always starts its search first in /usr/share/ppd/HP/ .
If the ppd for the printer doesn't exist there then it will dynamically
generate the ppd file for the printer from /usr/share/cups/drv/hp/h
Sorry for the delay.
I have just tried removing the ,Postscript as suggested, but system-
config-printer and hp-setup are _still_ finding a postscript driver
first.
Attached is the log file from my hp-setup session.

Hi Marc,
Run command "sudo cat /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat | grep -nA

It will display the string

Where 21945 is the line number. Replace this string with "tech-

Sorry Till, no processes are left running, and I'm still getting the

Can you replace your /etc/cupshelpers/preferreddrivers.xml file by the
attached one? Does this make the driver choice for your printer correct?

This is still happening with Oneiric. The default driver that gets
