Bug Description
We have a HP DesignJet 130 printer/plotter with a TP-Link TL-PS110P that is connected to it to allow network access. From a Windows PC the printer works fine, but not from Ubuntu (12.04). I have tried both drivers (chp2200 and cdnj500) using ipp and lpd protocols. In all combinations, the plotter will give a warning that there is a problem with the black cartrige (position 2) and then kick out the sheet of paper and abort the job.
Before we had the TP-Link network module, the printer was connected directly to an Ubuntu workstation via USB, but I could only get it to work from a Windows VM running on the VM by doing a USB redirect. This leaves me to believe that the ppd file does not work as expected.

I opted to upgrade Ubuntu to 14.04 and after not getting anywhere I downloaded and installed the latest hplip (3.15.11). This version of hplip now prints the document almost completely via USB connection. It is as if a buffer flush will print the remaining ~ 5mm (which basically consists of the drawing border). Also, paper is not ejected. (using the cdnj500 driver)
