+ HP 1018 LaserJet printer not printing
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: hplip
The problem description is here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+question/68339
It is not just a problem, it is a bug, IMHO :)
It happens too, with a custom foo2zjs build on Kubuntu 9.04 final. Very
annoying.

Citing the question:
All my steps:
1) I've just installed fresh Ubuntu 9.04 Release Candidate
2) I pluged and turned my HP LaserJet 1018 printer
3) Ubuntu found it and opened setup window for plugin download. Everything
was successful.
4) I tried to print test page, but it was just Job completed without
printing anything.
5) I fount, that I need to install hplip-gui, but noting changed.
6) I tried to change driver (Menu:
System-Administration-Printing-HP_LaserJet_1018-Make and model-Change),
but also nothing new.
7) I installed new printer by runing hp-setup (I name it HP_LaserJet_1018_2)
8) printing works, but:
when I try to print (with HP_LaserJet_1018) this:
http://originalus.lt/tmp/hplip/HP_LaserJet_1018.odt
result looks like this:

when I try to print (with HP_LaserJet_1018_2):
http://originalus.lt/tmp/hplip/HP_LaserJet_1018_2.odt
result looks a bit different:

hp-check -t result I put here:
http://originalus.lt/tmp/hplip/hp-check_-t_result
Some time before, when I used Ubuntu 8.04 and same printer was installed
by running hplip-2.8.12.run (or maybe older - I'm not sure now),
everything worked fine.
And I don't know now, what to do...
Thanks in advance.
