The CUPS error_log file was empty.

I captured data sent to the printer (file attached). If I submit this postscript file as an original print job, the same symptoms occur -- the printer light flashes for a while and then the printer returns to idle without printing anything.

The captured postscript file begins with "%!PS-Adobe-3.0", but my printer (an HP 3030) does not support postscript level 3!
Why is level 3 being generated? There must be something wrong with the foomatic config files describing the hp 3030 printer. I don't know where those original files are, but somebody who does should be able to check whether they say the printer is level 2 only or not.

The file /etc/cups/ppd/<queuename>.ppd on my systemdoes contain *LanguageLevel: "3"
