Actual Results: gibberish, blank pages, error state for printer Expected Results: print my postscript file Additional info: Older version of ghostscript works fine
It was just ghostscript that you downgraded? Did you also downgrade hpijs?
Also, had you applied the updates prior to downgrading?
I installed with disks I made 6 June with 24 updated RPMS, including ghostscript-6.52-9.4.i386. I downgraded only the ghostscript rpm to make it work
Please save the following attachment and try: cat attachment > /dev/lp0 as root (assuming it's on /dev/lp0!). This is the output from GNU Ghostscript 7.05, using the US Letter test page. Let me know if the problem is still there.

Unfortunately I get the same type of output as before: a line of HP graphics characters, a few down the edge of the page, a couple of blank pages, and the printer lights flashing (indicating error state)
Okay, I'll take a look at what changed for that driver between 7.2 and 7.3 then. In the mean time, please save the following attachment and try: cat attachment > /dev/lp0 as root. This is the output from the hpijs driver (with GNU Ghostscript 7.05), using the US Letter test page. Let me know if that works (it should). Thanks.

Yes, hpijs attachment worked fine
FWIW, hpijs is the recommended driver for this printer.
This seems to be because of the way that the chp2200 driver is added; it clobbers cdj890 and others. Since the recommended driver for the HP Business Inkjet 2200 is hpijs anyway, I'll take out chp2200 again. That should fix cdj890.
Should be fixed in ghostscript-7.05-15.
