Hi all,
After seeing the recent threads about hplip testing it seemed
like a good time to play with my "new" printer, that is a year
or so old. It is an all in one printer scanner copier,
a HP DeskJet 1050 J140. It was cheaper than buying replacement
ink cartridges for my old PSC.
It has never quite worked for me. Various Linux installations
do different things. Just dealing with the test pages they
all seem to be missing something; black, magenta, all of the
text, or the bottom of the page. From Mageia it seems to be
missing black. It has been officially supported since hplip
3.10.6, I think.
Has anyone seen that model working? It looks like an
upstream bug, but it is manifesting itself differently
on different distributions. Who should I submit a bug
report to? (And how many?) The good news is that the
scanner part works since the update.
BTW what is LEDM? It seems to be part of the update.
LEDM means Low End Data Model, is also a fax protocol,
and in this hplip update they added LEDM ADF scanning
(ADF = automatic document feed) and LEDM wireless support.
For your issues you should report this directly to hplip developers:

From a short google search it seems for some others with
a recent enough hplip version the printer seems to work,
common problem seems to be the scanner.
Did you check that the printer itself prints a testpage correct
and not that maybe the ink cardridge is dried in?
