I have a HP DeskJet 5652 printer. After one of recent "emerge -u world" I am having problems with printing. My printer was set up in CUPS to use the "HP New Deskjet Series CUPS v1.1" Driver. Unfortunately, the output it produces is shifted, so that about 1/4 of the print falls out of the page. I noticed, that there is a new driver introduced: "HP DeskJet 5652 Foomatic/hpijs". I updated the printer to use it. Now nothing gets printed, and when I run "top", I see a "gv" process eating 100% of one of my processors. It never finishes (at least not in about 10 minutes...). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install HPDJ5652 as CUPS printer 2. set it up to use "HP DeskJet 5652 Foomatic/hpijs" driver 3. lp anything.ps Actual Results: nothing got printed, 100% CPU eaten Expected Results: anything.ps should materialize in my printer :) > emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 29 2005, 03:21:51)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://src.gentoo.pl http://gentoo.mirror.sdv.fr" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dfx X acl alsa apache2 apm avi bitmap-fonts bzip2 caps cdr chroot crypt cscope cups dga directfb dvd dvdr emboss encode fam fbcon font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk2 hal hardenedphp howl imap innodb java javascript jpeg ldap libg++ libwww mad maildir memlimit minimal mmx motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls nptl odbc oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl php pic png postgres ppds python quicktime readline samba sasl slp socks5 spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts ucs2 unicode xml2 xmms xv zlib video_cards_i830" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I made a typo - the process eating the CPU is not "gv", but of course "gs". Sorry.
what's your hpijs/ghostscript version?
try to upgrade hpijs to 1.7.1
I have same kind of problems with 1.1.23-r3. Printer is hp5550 and driver is 5550foomatic/hpijs I got nothing out from my printer. No life, nothing. hpijs is version 1.7.1 ghostscript 7.07.1-r9 pam 0.78-r2 Maybe there is some issues with pam because after emerge -uD world etc-update suggested some changs to /etc/pam.d/cups config file. That's just guess.

set loglevel to debug in your cupsd.conf and attach your error_log
Closing this until we know here the problem is.
