Printing gone after update

Help!

I lost printing abilities. It was just fine before. The last what I see from ssh history is that I did update.

I have HP DeskJet F2180 with hplip installed and appropritae PPD.

The problem looks like there is lacking of foomatic-rip filters (from CUPS error log):

Code: Select all

E [21/Oct/2008:09:41:34 +0000] Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "HPDeskJet" not available: No such file or directory
E [21/Oct/2008:09:41:34 +0000] Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "HPDeskJet" not available: No such file or directory

...

E [21/Oct/2008:16:55:12 +0000] PID 7614 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 22!
I tried to fix that myself, but without success:

Code: Select all

apt-get install foomatic-rip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://update.excito.org marielle/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/update.excito.org_dists_marielle_main_binary-powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Couldn't find package foomatic-rip

I solved the problem by installing foomatic-filters and hpijs
