The problem is a problem of the printer driver, HPLIP. Ghostscript
generates raster images of your pages with 600 dpi resolution and 24-bit
RGB in all cases, which is enough to produce a high-quality printed
image. The printer reports for the first printout that it uses normal
mode and for the others that iut uses "BestPhoto" mode. So the print
work flow seems to be correct. Also the detection of your printer seems
to be correct.
The problem seems to be inside the driver. It seems that it does not
send the correct instructions for resolution and color depth to the
printer, probably the instructions work with another printer but not
with your particular model. This is a problem in the upstream code od
the printer driver. therefore I move this bug to HPLIP and also forward
it to the HPLIP developers at HP.

Title:
Cannot print high resolution in 12.04 - worked in 11.10
Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
New
Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Printing high resolution images with an HP Deskjet D1360 stopped
working after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 two days ago. The print
is stretched about 50% vertically and is black and white, without any
color. Low-res image printing seems OK. I have installed all
software updates and HPLIP, which previously worked.
I understand the issue is known for some printers, perhaps due to the
change from Poppler to Ghostscript discussed in bug 998087.
Attempting the workaround described there and in
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2022997 gave strange results
for onscreen windows, including inability to move them and loss of the
three top buttons, which were fortunately undo-able with the listed
reset command.
Thanks.
