We note that the problem also occurs when a print queue is set up with
CUPS; using localhost:631, we suppose. Can you remember whether you
used hp://... or usb://... as the connection (the device URI)? Did
you originally use hp-setup to set up the printer?
hplip is presently at version 3.17.10+repack0-1 and cups-filters and
cups have new versions too. Please would you update your system and
report on the printing output.
Regards,
Brian.
