I've got exactly the same problem. The printer I'm using is a HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One with HPLIP 3.10.6.15 drivers on Linux 2.6.32.19-163.fc12.i686.PAE Fedora 12. On Fedora 6, I got much more printing options then I get now. Now I can't even choose the DPI. When I choose "High resolution photo" quality, it prints (at relative fast speeds, too fast too print photo quality,) a black image with here and there some purple colours with clearly visible horizontal lines (=> photo print should actually avoid this by printing slower). The output is vertically 2x stretched and when I print a PDF document of exactly 1 page, it prints until the bottom (because of the vertical stretch, the output contains only half the contents of the PDF document) and then it waits for a certain time until it "ejects" the printed paper. This time equals about the time it takes to print the other half of the document. This bug doesn't seem to be hot, although it should REALLY be, so please, someone examine this bug... My hp-check output: hp-check[30849]: info: : Initializing. Please wait...
