Hi John,

Please download the latest hplip-3.15.7.run file from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html and install the package by running command 'sh hplip-3.15.7.run' in terminal.

Delete the existing queue in 'system-config-printer' for this printer and re-configure the queue by running command 'hp-setup' in terminal.

This should be able to help you to print.
Please let us know if the issue is still present.

Thanks,
goutam

Run command 'sh ~/Desktop/hplip-3.15.7.run' and let us know if it still gives some output.

goutam,
Excellent solution. Apparently, libusb was missing(now installed) and it had to overwrite version 3.10.6. Thanks for your help.John
