That post is over 2 years old so shame that nobody with new Focal Fossa and an HP printer (ie Envy 5660) or a brother printer can print a single page. I only care about Puppy Linux, all versions, and hope someone will fix Puppy's printing CUPs, I guess using the corrected release of Ghostscript code. Perhaps the bug was created by mixing Ubuntu and debian code, i dont' know or care. There are others but I can't find them again (IRC?). I spent a dozen hours shooting this and here is one web page directly supporting my claim. The error message in CUPS is basically "Filter Failed". Thus persistent errors generated by CUPS at print time. Ghostscript is used to make that PDF data but when adobe code was removed for obvious security reasons, a page count function for Ghostscript got omitted. Any printer that needs PDF data to print will fail (HP). It seems all releases of Focal Fossa and other distros released with broken Ghostscript and therefore broken CUPS are affected. I never needed to post here before in 10 years of using Puppy Linux but this is terrible and needs a fix.
