Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue in HPLIP. To help us understand and analyze the issue please follow following things.
=> Download and install the latest HPLIP release from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html (automatic) or http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/index.html (manual, if automatic does not work)

=> run "hp-check --fix" command in the terminal if manual installation is done

=> Reconfigure print queue with the commands in the terminal mentioned below.
       => system-config-printer (remove all print queues)
      => su -c "hp-plugin" (This will download right plugin)
       => hp-setup (It should not be run in a root mode. This command is adding print queue, make sure you select ppd name having "-ps" or "hpcups" substring)
=>Try printing/Scanning now.

If problem does not get solved then please run following command to capture the logs and send the logs.

$su -c "hp-logcapture"

Hi,

HPLIP version 3.10.9 requires libusb-0.1 (libusb package) version, where as in Ubuntu-12.04 , libusb-0.1 (libusb package) is not available and upgraded libusb-1.0 (libusb-1.0-0 package) is available.

So please install latest HPLIP @ http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html ( latest hplip supports libusb-1.0 ).
Note:- No need to uninstall older hplip package explicitly. Just run following command.

--> download hplip-3.12.10.run file to ~/Downloads folder.
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ sh hplip-3.12.10.run
--> Connect pinter
$ hp-setup

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
