Bug Description

My Canon S9000 wide-format photo printer works fine with this paper in windows or TurboPrint.

With standard Gutenprint driver bjc-s9000, image is extremely dark and grainy. See attached scan versus original in linked album: http://imgur.com/a/QG866

I've tried changing the following driver settings with no significant difference noted in IQ:

  - Color Model RGB vs CYMK
  - Paper type photo vs glossy photo paper vs "photo paper plus glossy"
  - Ink type CYMK vs "Photo CcMmYK Color".

Other notes:
  - Gutenprint v5.2.11.
  - Unmodified PPD
  - `StpPPDLocation: "/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.2/C/ppd/stp-bjc-s9000.5.2.ppd"`
