Bug Description
Binary package hint: foo2zjs
There is an auto-installed icon in the System Tools menu named "HPLJ 10xx Replaced Paper" - this is very undescriptive, as well as being grammatically nonsense. The associated comment of "HP LaserJet 1018, 1020" is equally uninformative.

I agree completely with Max and Tormod, this should be something taken care of by an extra package like hplip and should not be on a default installation as most users do not own HP printers. Looking at the original bug report for this, I can see that it is being worked on.
I am marking this as a duplicate of the first bug that reported the issue: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ foo2zjs/ +bug/396271
