   I think I am using hpijs.

I can't tell from this.  Till?

   $ foomatic-configure -Q
   <queues>
   <defaultqueue>HP930C</defaultqueue>
   <queue foomatic="1" spooler="cups">
     <name>HP930C</name>
     <printer>HP-DeskJet_930C</printer>
     <driver>hpijs</driver>
     <connect>parallel:/dev/lp0</connect>
     <location>yoda</location>
     <description>HP DeskJet 930C</description>
   </queue>
   </queues>

   Now it seems that something has broken my print setup somehow since
   KDE stopped being able to give me driver selection.  I don't know if
   it was gutenprint or not ...

   $ /usr/bin/foomatic-datafile -A
   *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08146b20 ***
   Entity: line 1980: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document
     </printer>
