OK, it's not hpijs, it's ghostscript.  This rather horrid workaround has
Mum printing again:

cd /tmp
wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gs-esp/libgs-esp8_8.15.4.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
dpkg -i libgs-esp8_8.15.4.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gs-esp/gs-esp_8.15.4.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb
dpkg -x gs-esp_8.15.4.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_powerpc.deb foo
sudo cp -r foo/usr/share/gs-esp /usr/share
sudo mv /usr/bin/gs /usr/bin/gs.broken
sudo cp /tmp/foo/usr/bin/gs-esp /usr/bin/gs

This replaces the Gutsy gs with the same version that was in Feisty,
while leaving the package management system none the wiser.  Hopefully
the next ghostscript upgrade will fix gs rather than breaking it again.

To get printing back to where it was in Feisty (i.e. working), I also
had to work around another bug in a similarly rude way:

Hope this helps.
