Ok We can inform Ubuntu about this. I found the solution. I just don't 
know who to send it to.
Ubuntu 14.10 uses the :

HP-DesignJet_130-cdnj500.ppd

as the driver for the HP DesignJet 130 printer.
This driver does not work properly.
However by changing the driver to :

HP-DesignJet_130-chp220.ppd

Which is also an option, it is working great as far as I have tested it.

Thanks for Jugging me to pursue it further. I can now retire my old XP
O/S.
