D1660 Align Carts Prints Only Rows D & I

[fleamour]

HPLIP-3.14.4

Elementary OS 0.2 ~ Latest HPLIP installed as Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have noticed the last two versions of HPLIP have not printed the align carts sheet properly. I was running HPLIP 3.14.3 under Ubuntu 12.04 GNOME Fallback & encountered same error. I am now running eOS Luna & same behaviour.

When trying to align carts the test sheet is not complete, only rows D & I are printed properly. The rest are incomplete or missing entirely. Obviously I want to realign when replacing old carts with new.

I have deleted & re-added printer, no dice. The version that was in Software Centre repos with 12.04 was buggy, hence installing latest version, not sure if this is a regression?
