Seems that something is wrong with the "Normal Grayscale" setting in the
PPD of the DeskJet 840/842/846c (and others of this class). Can someone
at HP have a look into this? Thanks.

Title:
  HP DeskJet 842C will not print with Print Quality set to "Normal
  Grayscale," but "Draft Grayscale" and "Normal Color" work.

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
  Confirmed
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in hplip package in Arch Linux:

Bug description:
  In Document Print Status, the job status is "Stopped."  In the Job
  Attributes, job-printer-state-message is "Filter failed."  See
  attached for an extract from /var/log/cups/error_log.

  If I reprint from the Document Print Status GUI, after a moment's
  pause, I get a dialog box saying "Print Error — There was a problem
  processing document…" and the name of the document.

  I have deleted and re-added this printer several times with the
  Settings Manager → Printers GUI.  The printer is an HP DeskJet 842C,
  which comes up as an 840C on screen.  The test page works (I assume
  because it's in colour mode).

  I am running Xubuntu.  This printer worked with Xubuntu 10.04.2.
