Setting up HP J4580 on Debian?



I was trying to setup the HP officejet J4580 on my debian laptop, lenny 5.0.3 (2.6.26). 

Although the driver was installed and the printer was detected without problem, it does not print any pages. When I print the page, it tells me the job has been submitted to the printer, and after a short while, it returns that the job has been completed, while the printer remains silent without printing anything.

I used different ways to install drivers:
1. downloaded hplip all-in-one tar ball  from HP's website
2. install hplip from debian's repository
3. install hpoj, xsane from debian's repository replacing hplip

All the above three ways can get the drivers loaded correctly, and the printer is probed automatically. But the printer does not respond to any command. (BTW: The printer works well on WindowsXP)

Can any one share experience about this?

Best wishes,
Michael.
