After hplip 3.9.6-15.pm14 update, when printing graphics (problem does not apply to text-only prints), even from test page, they come out smaller and with a black square by the right of the image.
Tested from OpenOffice, Gimp and Gwenview.

Opensuse 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.23-0.1 x86 64bits
KDE 4.2.4 r2
hpcups 3.9.6-15.pm14
cups 1.3.9-7.2.1
libjpeg 6.2.0-843.50

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before
compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if
the proper dependencies are
installed to successfully compile HPLIP.

2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a
distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP
supplied tarball has the proper
dependencies installed to successfully run.

3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This
mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time
dependencies).
