I print from Mac OS 10.8.x to a Fedora 19 print server using hplip and the latest cups upgrades broke printing.

The output is severely stretched and large and some pictures are black.

Reverting to cups 1.6.2 using:

yum downgrade cups cups-filesystem cups-lpd cups-libs cups-ipptool cups-devel

fixed the problem.  I would have gone back to the previous release cups 1.6.3 but yum downgrade seems to have picked the base fedora 19 cups not a previous update.

I'm assuming the change here:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010580 caused it.  if I knew what info should be collected I'd file a bug.
