HPLIP was upgraded to v3.9.8 in build 126. It sounds like there is a
regression in the hpijs functionality (at least for this printer). From
the error messages, it really looks more like some sort of overflow or
type conversion issue while processing the page size attributes from the
PPD. It's possible, though unlikely, that there were some changes in
the PPD file in 3.9.8 that you need. You might try re-creating the
queue under LP.
Also, HPLIP includes the older hpijs driver that works with
ghostscript/foomatic and as a result a few print systems. It also
includes an hpcups driver that is better integrated with CUPS. Another
possibility would be to switch to CUPS (see
http://blogs.sun.com/jacobs/entry/more_on_using_cups_in) and create the
queue there. Regardless, you should file a bug and include your current
LP configuration (/etc/lp/...) and any log messages (/var/lp.logs,
syslog, ...)
