hp-testpage: error: Print command failed with exit code 256!
Hi there,
I am trying to understand what in the world this error message can mean:
error: Print command failed with exit code 256!
Steps to reproduce:
$ hp-testpage
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.9.10)
Testpage Print Utility ver. 6.0

Using printer: Deskjet_F2200_series
lpr: successful-ok
error: Print command failed with exit code 256!
Here is the output of hp-check -t:
$ hp-check -t
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.9.10)
Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 14.3

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before
compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if
the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a
distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP
supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully
run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default):
This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and
run-time dependencies).
