Stripes are printed with Cups, gs prints correct

Hello all,
I've compiled and installed the Cups cvs version from yesterday and 
hpijs-1.4.1 . Also I've installed ESP Ghostscript 7.07 (gs --version 
reports 7.07.1). Now I'm trying to setup my HP Deskjet500 and installed 
a printer with the web admin interface of Cups, in which I choose "HP 
Deskjet 500, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended) (en)" as the model.
As result of the testpage I only get artistic looking stripes, beginning 
from the left, ending roughly in the middle of the paper.
But with:
gs -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 -sDEVICE=djet500 /home/xxx/ls.ps
it prints a correct page. So ghostscript works in principle.
What's wrong?
Unfortunately www.linuxprinting.org is down this weekend. Is there a 
mirror available?
Thank you in advance!

Kay
