    Angry Slow printing from websites or pdf using HPLaserJet1200

    Hi, I am running ubuntu 13.04 and I am having issues with my HPLaserJet 1200 using the HPLib.


    It can print the test page or a text document, but pdf or a web page with graphics.. the lights blink like the print job is in progress but then it will just hang there forever. I have this printer hooked up via a usb hub I think it could be a connection issue. Can someone school me on how to fix this? I really appreciate it.

    HP LaserJet 1200 not printing pdf or webpage with graphics

    Hi, I am pretty new to Ubuntu but have researched this issue heavily and still cannot find a solution. I have installed the hplip and have the printer connected to a usb port. If I select some text on a web page and say print selection it has no problems. It can print the test page, it can print a document from Libre Office but if I print out a web page with graphics or a pdf document it will not work. It will flash the light like the printer is ready to print the job but then it will just hang and eventually give a timeout. I thought it could be a usb thing but I have no idea. Can you please give me some advice on how to fix this? The syslog will show timeout and eventually the printer will give a system page with a timeout. The light will blink like it's processing the job it just will never finish. Afterwards I will have to kill the lp command that is running or I see " imuxsock begins to drop messages from pid 26271 due to rate-limiting " keep printing out in the systems log. I am kind of at a loss at this point.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Another handy way is open a terminal, and...

    Code:
    system-config-printer

    Crucial ® Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1GB || Mountain Mods U2-UFO Opti-1203
