Till now I tried to use the ppd file from linuxfoundation.org. With cups 1.1.23 this worked fine. I just tried the ppd file from HP itself, but the same error occurs.
Now I'll have a look to the HPJetDirect Firmware of the printer. Perhaps there is an update available.
I want to test an other HP printer, too. I'll post the result tomorrow.

cheers,
