Had you set a colour profile for the printer?
No, I didn't.
It sounds more like it might be a filter/driver problem than a problem
in cups proper. Could you try downgrading cups-filters and
cups-filters-libs and see if that makes a difference?
Because of dependencies I hat to downgrade totally the cups software:
