Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
When trying to print on an HP Laserjet 4100 (through network, no possibility to connect to USB) in karmic, A notification tells me that printing succeeded, but regarding of the document to be printed, only one page gets printed with the following error message (6 lines):
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: 0a
STACK:
-mark-
Other printers on the same network (e.g. OKI C7350) work flawlessly, also the same printer worked on intrepid and jaunty.
WORKAROUND 1:
Print from okular (KDE PDF viewer) or any other (non-gtk?) software.
WORKAROUND 2:
Use the fixed cairo packages from this PPA:

I have done some tests and printing with the PPD for the LJ 4100 which you are using works for me on the LJ 3390 and the LJ P3005 (both on the network, CUPS version 1.4.0 from Karmic).
Can you attach the files which you did not succeed to print and can you also create an error_log as described in the "CUPS error_log" section of
