Hi,

Please try the following steps.

1. Run "system-config-printer" from the terminal.
2. Delete the existing print queues.
3. Download and install the latest HPLIP 3.12.10a from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html. Installation instructions can also be found in the same page.
4. Re-configure the queue using "hp-setup" from the terminal.

If problem persists, past the output of "hp-check -t" from the terminal here.

Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth Lokare
