printing gives only totallly black pages



I haven't been tracking any threads on cups, so don't know whether
others have encountered this or not. Nothing seems to show up in the
archives.

I just upgraded in Sid last night and today discovered that printing was
messed up--first the printers wouldn't respond, then (after rebooting),
all I get with printing is a very black page. This happens whether from
the cups admin page, a website page, or something as simple as
dmesg | tail | lpr
from the command line.

I have an HP 1200, and am using the cups/gutenprint driver.

I have no feel for what to examine here, so am asking if anyone has
ideas about what to do next? There are no errors reported
under /var/log/cups...

Thanks,


Kenward
