  I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) and I didn't have any problems in Ubuntu
  9.04 and older. I upgraded HPlip from 3.9.8 (which was in the distro
  repository) to 3.9.12 and the problem was solved. But all Ubuntu users
  still have to deal with this bug so it would be great if you fixed the
  bug in 3.9.8 or made Ubuntu maintainers backport 3.9.12.
