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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985148 Title: print wizard installs wrong printer (HP DesignJet 500, instead of HP Color LaserJet 500) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/985148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
