I've been running Lubuntu 14.04 for a couple days and I wasn't able to get the printer to work. In Ubuntu and Xubuntu it wasn't a problem (HP 1055 printer) but with Lubuntu, even after installing hplip and configuring the printer, it still wouldn't print! But I discovered what was missing...
Go to System tools > Printers > right click on the printer icon and go to > Properties > Policies > and make sure that Accepting jobs is Checked! It wasn't by default and that's why it didn't print. Now all is well and printing.
