Under the newly installed 14.04, a USB-connected HP 1315 PSC installed cleanly, and its status is OK, but it won't print. A small test job appears in the queue briefly and then disappears, but on the printer there is no activity whatsoever.

Printer Properties: Settings: Printer State is currently: Idle - Sending data to printer.

During installation I selected for the driver: HP LaserJet 1300 Foomatic/pxlmono [en] (recommended), which I think is part of the HPLIP collection.

I do note that though the above was the recommended driver, this is not a LaserJet but an inkjet, so that is the only suspicious item in my view.

The printer was working fine under Win XP.

The machine is a Pentium 4 @ 1.6 GHz with 500 MB.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Hi John,

The HPLIP website says that your printer is supported:-

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/psc/psc_1310_series.html

I think that you may have selected the wrong driver. The web page suggests that the driver name should be something like PSC_1310_Series. Try deleting the laserjet driver and adding the printer again, then look for a driver with a PSC name.
