Do I need to do the update described in the thread or will an update for
this come through the update manager in the near future?

Benjamin Drung, your problem is that the HP LaserJet 13xx is badly

I just tested the Improved Poppler-based pdftops filter and can confirm,

Many thanks to Till Kamppeter for solving this problem.

After re-installing the printer on the Jaunty PC, the new printout is

The lines (scan.png from comment 1) are now gone.
But 100% correct is it not. Printing in landscape format produces lines which
are too small on the right side of the character (e.g. in the characters 1, l,
