I also had this problem.  I am using kubuntu 12.04 64 bit.

I solved the problem by installing hplip 3.12.4 from
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html (I downloaded the
automatic installer).

To install, from the terminal I did: (make sure to run the installer
from its own directory otherwise you'll have a bunch of files spread all
over your download folder).

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x hplip-3.12.4.run
mkdir tmp
mv hplip-3.12.4.run tmp/.
./hplip-3.12.4.run

Then I just followed the install instructions and accepted the defaults.
The installer will remove hplip 3.12.2 (the default that ships with
kubuntu 12.04) and install 3.12.4.   My printer now works perfectly.
