Hi Till! Sorry I didn't answer before. I was at home, not near the hp printer.
I have again tried to print. As I had uninstalled HPLIP, I re-installed it. The version is now: 3.15.4. Device Manager Version 15.0 (Qt4). It still doesn't work. I get a notice which says: Print job failed - required plugin missing. If you could help I would be really grateful.
