print/hpijs + new cups + foomatic not working with hpijs-pcl3e printer.

[Robert Backhaus]

Thank you, all.

Weird thing - I had a thought that I could verify what was happening by
replacing texttops with pdftops. So I did that, and it printed, then looked
at the log files, and it was no longer using texttops. So I put the files
back where they came from, and it kept working.

So it fixed itself somehow - there weren't any updates that I knew of....
