Bug Description

This morning I installed the most recent version of HPLIP (3.14.6) and while it prints fine, the "ready" light keeps flashing for a long time after the print job is finished. It goes off eventually, but the HP3050 indicates that it is "printing document" long after the job is done. At this point it is more of an annoyance than anything, but could be really frustrating with other jobs which require a long time to print, and in this form you can't know for sure if the print job is done or not.

Here is the output from hp-doctor and hp-check

Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 15.1

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Status Types:
    OK
    MISSING - Missing Dependency or Permission or Plug-in
