actually I have been using the postscript driver not the foomatic/hpijs one. Anyway this time I tried the hpijs one and that is working much better. The hplip test page is the correct size and better positioned on the page. The openoffice file, simple text file and the ubuntu test page all print without problems.

I get direct usb://HP/LaserJet%20P2015%20Series

When I start gnome-cups-add I have the choice of two drivers: Postscript (recommended) and hpijs. Neither of them contain HPLIP. The default is Postscript (recommended). The hpijs driver works and the Postscript (recommended) doesn't.

One odd thing that I have noticed is if I choose System > Administration > Printing and right click on the printer queue and choose properties it takes about thirty seconds to respond. During that time the CPU usage goes to 100% and if I use top I can see that the CPU is being used by cupsd, gnome-cups-manager and foomatic.
