Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 12.04 on 4/23 from 11.10 my HP 1000 printer started
having issues.
1. The first bug was that text (ghostscript/ps) generated files looked
like they had reduced resolution with very poor resolution.
2. After install/purge/reinstall cycle the system started installing
the firmware then sticking in a loop trying to open/close/reload
firmware to the point of crashing a few of the helper programs (I assume
some race condition). After some googling it tryed to use the HP
solution by removing printer-driver-foo2zjs and all is well.
Here is a syslog entry for the loop, there was a few ways of producing
depending on what packages where installed.

There may be two bugs here
1. Resolution issues with printer-driver-foo2zjs. I don't think there
was the driver reload issue after the upgrade.
2. The system-config-printer-udev package may be trying to load the
firmware as well (should foo2zjs conflict, or vice versa?) but I suspect
it is the foo2zjs driver.
This machine had has been upgraded from a clean install of 11.10.
User profile was cleaned before update (.config, .local .gnome* .gconf*
etc.)
