[plug] KDE, CUPS, PDF & Postcript

[Marcos Raul Carot Collins]

I just learnt that this printer only supports postscript level 2, but the 
driver says level 3, and that's likely the cause.

The driver was the one installed by the hp-setup utility which correctly 
identified the printer...

hmm

Will have to print from LibreOffice always :S
