"...Foomatic/foo2zjs-z2" is not HPLIP, this is an independent third- party driver. Perhaps this density feature you are after is ghenerally not available in HPLIP but only in the alternative driver. On an all up- to-date system this driver is also available but it seems that it is not selected automatically for your printer.
You can change printer drivers manually if you are not content with the automatic selection. To do so start system-config-printer, right-click the printer you want to modify, and choose "Properties" in the Pop-up menu. In the dialog appearing then click the "Change" button in the "Make and Model" line. Then a new dialog appears. Click "Forward" on the manufacturer page (stay with "HP") and on the model page, in the right column, choose the "...Foomatic/foo2zjs-z2" entry. Click "Forward" again and your driver is changed. Now you should have the density option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272046 Title: Missing HP P1102 laser printer Print Density settings (i.e. "Extra dark") Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing: New Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since 13.10 (both 64bit Ubuntu and Kubuntu) upgrade I cannot select "Extra dark" printer settings when printing from LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Kate or whatever with HP LaserJet P1102 on Dell Inspiron 1520. There is no such option in global printer settings also, both Ubuntu and Kubuntu. There are "Pritint quality: Draft, Normal"; "Output mode: Grayscale" and others, but "Print Density" is missing. There are no problems with printing itself though. Driver name in printer dialog: "HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102" "Automatically setup by HPLIP" "hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102?serial=000000000Q854HW7PR1a" "HP LaserJet Professional p1102, hpcups 3.13.9, requires proprietary plugin". I remeber I had to launch "hp-plugin" to make this printer work on 13.10, as it was automatclly deceted, but failed to print.
