This seems to have done the trick.
Brian, thanks a lot for your helpful suggestions!
I've just performed the following actions:
(A) I removed the package pins and upgraded cups
(B) I searched for a suitable driver:
# lpinfo -m | grep 1320
gutenprint.5.2://hp-lj_1320/expert HP LaserJet 1320 - CUPS+Gutenprint
v5.2.7
foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-Postscript.ppd HP LaserJet 1320
Foomatic/Postscript
foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-pxlmono.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/pxlmono
(recommended)
drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 hpijs, 3.12.2
drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320_series-hpijs-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1320
Series hpijs pcl3, 3.12.2
drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320_series-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Series

drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320nw-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320nw hpijs,

drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320nw.ppd HP LaserJet 1320nw, hpcups 3.12.2
drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320tn-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320tn hpijs,
3.12.2
drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320tn.ppd HP LaserJet 1320tn, hpcups 3.12.2
(C) I removed the print queue and recreated it from scratch using the
following PCL PPD:
# lpadmin -x lj
# lpadmin -p lj -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 \
-m drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320_series-pcl3.ppd \
-L "dining room" -D "HP LaserJet 1320"
# lpoptions -p lj -o media=A4 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge
# lpadmin -d lj
And now I seem to be able to print both plain text files and PDF files
(with the up-to-date cups)!
Hence, I think this bug may be safely closed as fixed in
cups-filters/1.0.18-2: please do so, if you agree.
Otherwise I can close it by myself, if you prefer.
Thanks again!
Bye.
