Does doing a cartridge align/clean and calibration help this at all?
If not please run hp-check and send that as well.

Hello,
I am trying to install an Officejet Pro K550 on my
Gentoo box. I have installed the following packages:
foomatic-filters-3.0.20060720
foomatic-db-ppds-20060720
foomatic-db-engine-3.0.20060720
foomatic-filters-ppds-20060720
foomatic-db-20060720
ghostscript-gpl-8.54
hplip-1.6.10
cups-1.2.9
I have set up the printer in cups, but when I print a
test page the first few centimeters are ok, then there
is a large gap of missing print, then it is a little
garbled but mostly recognizable. There are a few more
blank patches on the page, and then it goes on to a
new page to print out the last few centimeters about
3/4 of the way down.
When using hp-toolbox to print the diagnostics page
the output is fine. But the toolbox's test page has an
image (might be of fruit?) and that gets split up into
a few millimeters a page so starts getting through my
paper really quickly. I have always canceled that test
page after about 7 sheets have all been ruined with a
tiny fragment of image.
In short the printer is mostly working but absolutely
useless. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be
causing these problems? I have tried the ppd found at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet_Pro_K550
but the results are the same.
It was also the same with ghostscript-esp.
Many thanks in advance,
James
