> Is this the definitive solution now? Should I release cups-filters
1.0.8?

I just can't answer that. We're working around a bug in a version of the
Brother Postscript implementation, with no access to the internals of
the interpreter. My *best guess*, based on the testing we've done, is
that there is some problem with the interaction of multiple compression
filters in the same filter chain, so I'm suggesting we remove the
opportunities for multiple compression filters to be used in the same
chain - the only case remaining where this could happen is the color
image case - hence adding "-dEncodeColorImages=false". (NOTE: this is
separate from the CCITT Group 4 filter problem, which is definitely
broken in it's own right.)

However, without being able to debug the interpreter code, I can't say
byond doubt that the above *is* the problem.

And I certainly can't say that there aren't any more bugs in Brother's
code.

I assume we've missed the beta 2 deadline, so it might be worth holding
off dong a cups-filters 1.0.8 for a day or so, in case we find a
workaround for the HP issue.
