Hello DA,

Thanks for reporting the issue in HPLIP. Can you change the aspect ratio of the image(which is to be printed) to 4:6 or 6:4 and then try to print with fit to page option.

If this doesn't work then please send me the following things to assist you better.

1) run "hp-toolbox -g" command in the terminal and then
   a)Remove all the print queues if present, on pressing the minus (-) button. And then re-add the printer using Plus (+) button.

=> Please do the following to capture some logs.

    a)Open /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in root mode and replace

        LogLevel warn

          with

       LogLevel debug
       hpLogLevel 15

    b) Open Terminal and run following commands:
       => su
       => /etc/init.d/cups restart
                  or
       => service cups restart
       => cd /tmp
       => rm *.out
       => rm *.bmp
       => hp-check -t > /tmp/hpcheck.log

    c) Try to print the file and then send
          => /var/log/syslog (if present),
          => /var/log/messages (if present),
          => /var/log/cups/error_log
          => /tmp/*.bmp
          => /tmp/*.out
          => /tmp/hpcheck.log
          => document used for printing

For attaching the logs please create a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+filebug
 and then attach the logs, because you wont be able to attach them here.

Thanks,
Sanajy

Thank you very much for your help. It mostly was a problem of my understanding of the settings in GIMP. HPLIP works quite properly.
