OK, the original code was

	if ((!defined(@{$dat->{'args'}})) ||
	    ($#{$dat->{'args'}} < 0)) {
	...
	} else {
	...
	}

I changed the 'if' as follows:

	if ((! @{$dat->{'args'}}) ||
	    ($#{$dat->{'args'}} < 0)) {


Now the printer produces a single page two short lines of text:

	%PDF-1.5
	%<upside-down-?>

and cups reports that the job is still "Connected to printer".  Any 
further attempts to print just "stall", since the printer appears to be 
busy.  As soon as I manually Cancel the job, the next job starts, and 
gets into the same state, and with the same output.

The /var/run/cups/access_log file contains only one line (per job):

localhost - - [17/Jun/2015:09:59:25 +0800] "POST 
/printers/Deskjet_2540_series HTTP/1.1" 200 49781 Print-Job 
successful-ok


I also notice in the build log for print/hplip that the 
foomatic-rip-hpijs filter is deprecated

Is there some other PPD file I should be using for this printer (HP 
DeskJet 2545)?
