Here are some update tips, please update before reporting problems:

cups-1.1.3-7mdk: Previous version did not print on a remote printer when
options where supplied.

cups-drivers-0.3.6-19mdk: boolean, numerical, and PJL options work
correctly now. 

kups-0.8-18mdk, qtcups-1.0-10mdk, xpp-0.6-14mdk: minor fixes + support
for numerical options (colour calibration on a lot of colour inkjets,
head adjustment on Lexmark inkjets).

For calibration the printer to the screen display enter

   gv /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps &

to have the test page on your screen.

ghostscript-5.50-27mdk: bugfix for automatic fallback to monochrome if
an HP DeskJet is not able to print 600dpi in colour (GIMP-Print "stp"
driver), all little filter packages which support a printer by filtering
raw bitmap output of GhostScript (Lexmark inkjets, HP DeskJet PPA
printers) are inside the GhostScript package now, also the
Lexmark-printer-maintenance package. So the ghostscript package is now
the central package for all printer driver code.

Note: For the most recent GhostScript package you need the most recent
CUPS-Drivers package, otherwise the GIMP-Print driver will not work.

Have a lot of fun ...

P. S.: You use the GhostScript "stp" driver (the printer entry you have
chosen in the printer adminitration program has a "(GIMP-Print)")? Then
you can print simple text when your black ink ran out. Simply adjust
"Yellow" to zero and you get visible (blue) text.
