When printing to an Officejet Pro 8500 A910 via DeviceURI "hp:/net" and with hpijs driver, the print job is not successful (nothing printed at all, job remains in queue) and/or a text "Unable to open the initial device" is printed on paper. Printing using hpcups driver works with the same setup! Both printers are created using hp-toolbox. However, when I create the hpijs-based printer via yast2 there is no problem. So, it seems to be a HPLIP-specific problem with the device communication.
