Hello Jiri and thank you for your reply.

I have already done that and it is not working anyway. When I print, HP drivers say the print is started and some seconds later it says that the print has been done. I have seen many people complain about that with different printers, so I guess it is some kind of bug anyway. 
I have tried to install again now, tried to print from gedit and the same result.

Kind regards

/Björn
