Thanks for you bug report. Please attach the output of the printingbuginfo script for some basic information about your printing setup and the printing related packages that are installed on your system. The printingbuginfo script can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript.
Does changing the printout mode from color to grayscale (or the other way around) give any difference? You could do a test with the Edgy Release candidate desktop CD which has a newer cupsys and hplip. The desktop cd is is a live cd so you can boot from this CD, no hard disk install is necessary.
