I did the following:
1. Remove the package hal-cups-utils:
dpkg --purge hal-cups-utils
2. Enable the printer again in http://localhost:631 (it was still
disabled from the previous error)
3. Reboot
4. Test again - problem appears to be gone, document printed immediately
Note that this is a freshly installed system with no manual modification
of CUPS. The only thing I really did was install the CUPS packages,
install the HP packages and run the HP utility to set up my printer in CUPS.
After some weeks of having trouble, I also changed
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
to
ErrorPolicy retry-job
in printers.conf, although that didn't actually eliminate the problem.
Given their ubiquity in the market, it would be nice if HP printers
worked out of the box with lenny
