hp laserjet 2605 stop working

Hi all... After one of latest upgrades (I don't know wich exactly), I'm unable to print with my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, as a network printer. I tryed to reinstall hplip but nothing. I tryed to remove the printer (I use only cups web interface to admin printers) and add a new printer. All fine, but when I clic on printer model and "add printer" button receive this error: "Unable to copy PPD file!", and printer don't add.

Edit: Tryed with success to add printer with a separate ppd file (extracting from cups folder), but I don't be able to set options of the printer; the cups error is: "Error: Missing value string"

Cups version 1.3.8
Hplip version 2.8.2-2

Thanks in advance for your help.
Silvio.

Last news... from verify cups-pdf virtual printer stoped working too (print command no errors but no output). Cups bug?

I remove (from cache too) and reinstall cups package and dependencies. Now Pdf printer work, the rest unchanged.

Re: hp laserjet 2605 stop working

I look into forlder /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-ppds/HP and all ppd file as compressed, example: /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-ppds/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2605.ppd.gz

It is normal?

I tryed to extract but printer still don't install.
