Bug Description
Since 13.10 (both 64bit Ubuntu and Kubuntu) upgrade I cannot select "Extra dark" printer settings when printing from LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Kate or whatever with HP LaserJet P1102 on Dell Inspiron 1520.
There is no such option in global printer settings also, both Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
There are "Pritint quality: Draft, Normal"; "Output mode: Grayscale" and others, but "Print Density" is missing. There are no problems with printing itself though.
Driver name in printer dialog:
"HP_LaserJet_
"Automatically setup by HPLIP"
"hp:/usb/
"HP LaserJet Professional p1102, hpcups 3.13.9, requires proprietary plugin".
I remeber I had to launch "hp-plugin" to make this printer work on 13.10, as it was automatclly deceted, but failed to print.
Some more info:
$ cat /var/lib/
[plugin]
installed = 1
eula = 1
version = 3.13.9

description: | updated |
This is most probably caused by a newer version of the driver for this printer, HPLIP. Looks like this "darkness" option got removed.
Can anyone of the HPLIP developers at HP check this? Was there really removed an option for making the printout lighter or darker?
