Other seem to have similar problems with the "new" CUPS. I was suggested to deinstall
everything and reinstall cups and hplip. i did. I deinstalled every cups port installed.
I also deinstalled then hplip and every foomatic-port installed. Then I reinstalled
print/cups which reels in these cups ports:

cups-1.7.1
cups-base-1.7.1
cups-client-1.7.1
cups-filters-1.0.52
cups-image-1.7.1
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_7

As one can see, cups-filters get installed by default (as well as its dependency
print/qpdf).

After that, I installed hplip via portmaster print/hplip. This reels in
print/foomatic-filters as well.

With this procedure, I end up as I did with having print/cups-filters. The printer is
rogue.

I deleted the print queue, installed a new one with the driver from hplip, to be precise:
hp-officejet_pro_8600-hpijs.ppd.gz

The "funny" part is that whenever I change the printer driver, a stuck print job produces
a sheet of paper with "?%" at the very end. the document is stuck and can not be printed,
I have to cancel it.

Even with the patch you provided earlier I can not print PDFs anymore! I have to
deinstall print/cups-filters to make the printer system work again.

Please can one revert to cups 1.5.x and get rid of this mess and mayhem?
