I have an HP Deskjet 5560 usb. After an upgrade (to Debian Etch) cups generates a faulty configuration for my printer. When the old (correct) config files are copied into /etc/cups then the printer works.

Generating the config files with the webinterface on 127.0.0.1:631

This is what cups generates for /etc/cups/printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23

This is what works:

When the printer is plugged in then the device appears, what the above devicename (serial...) is about it don't know.
