Another one example. Today I've been suffered trying to install LaserJet 1000 series on Xubuntu 14.04. The same problem. Only deleting hplip from system makes possible printer to get it's firmware loaded. Also I should download its firmware by 'getweb 1000 command'. So there are definitely some kind of conflict between Foomatic and HPLIP causes printer firmware not to load.

To avoid any problems related to attempts describe I decided to start with 'clean account'. (and created the new bug entry) Clean account means: 1) Remove hplip*, foo2zjs, footomatic package. 2) Remove any further files related to hp1018 find /usr/share -name "*1018*" ./foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.img ./ppd/hpijs/HP/hp_laserjet_1018-hpijs.ppd 3) Remove orphaned /usr/share/hplip directory After restarting the printer a system message appear pointing that new hardware had been installed and suggesting that hpijs package support the HP 1018 printer. I: - installed hpijs with depends - Ran Printer configure tool: a driver for HP 1018 hadn't been found - so I chose suggested HP 1015 driver - printer didn't react for send packages.
