HPIJS-based Fax PPDs do not support the PDF printing workflow

[Till Kamppeter]

The HPIJS-based fax PPDs (they are probably hand-edited and not generated by the CUPS DDK) do not support the PDF-based printing workflow. They contain

*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"

This line must be replaced by

*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip"
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip"

So that foomatic-rip accepts also PDF input and lets Ghostscript directly render it into the fax format, without Postscript being needed inbetween.

This is simple to fix. Can you fix it in 3.9.8? Thanks.
