This has been happening to me in Trusty (14.04) now for a while. Manually changing the printer to "Foomatic/hl1250" works fine, as I'm sure other non-Postscript drivers do, and "Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e" is marked as Recommended, but the Postscript one is always selected upon install and sometimes when just plugging it into a different port than usual. The Postscript driver still produces infinite blank pages.
