?? Wow, I didn't even know that until just now. I still have it
installed via an ebuild, I'm surprised portage didn't through any
warnings about not being able to update.

I've attached the foo2zjs ebuild that I still have in my portage tree,
in case you want to use it or try to get it working again.

I just had this this morning! It was driving me nuts because I am
supposed to sign a document and yep, the page that needs the signature
is on page 2! After messing around for about a half an hour, I
discovered some of my CUPS default printer settings disappeared! My
paper size and type were set to A4/envelope. I reset them and it prints
properly. I wonder what changed them?

I bought mine in late 2012/early 2013. I just checked and the black is
at 60%, all the colours are at 80%. Haven't had to change a cartridge yet.
