According to the error_log there seems to be nothing wrong on the CUPS side. So for me it looks like a problem inside the hpcups driver of HPLIP.

Hi Alberto,

Can you try installing latest hplip 3.14.6 ? Please download the file hplip-3.14.6.run from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html. To install it run command "sh hplip-3.14.6.run" in terminal.

Next, run command "hp-setup -r" in terminal to delete the existing print queue for HP Deskjet 916c.

After that run command "hp-setup" to configure the new print queue for this device and try to print on photo paper.

Let us know if the issue is still reproducible.

Thanks & Regards,
Goutam
