The 7150 is a fairly new printer, there are 3 of them in my extended family,
all going well under various flavours of Redhat/Fedora. Maybe your drivers
are not uptodate.
You can get the latest driver from:
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/
The latest is 1.6.1 and my experience is with 1.4.1 but I downloaded that
compiled it following the instructions on the HP site and it just worked with
no trouble at all on my HP 3350 which is a later cheaper device than the 7150.
You might also need some or all of these packages:
cupsomatic-ppd
cupsys
cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client
cupsys-driver-gimpprint
cupsys-pstoraster
kdelibs3-cups
libcupsys2
gimpprint-locales
libgimpprint1
libgnomeprint-bin
libgnomeprint-data
libgnomeprint15
Installation instructions are at: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php
Trust this helps
