Printer is HP Photosmart 6520 (hp:/usb/Photosmart_6520_series?serial=CN29B1513505TZ). In openSuSE and Fedora this printer is discovered and configured automatically. All I had to do was turn it on. So it seems to be well supported in Linux. In Rosa Fresh I had to configure it with '>System settings>Hardware>Setup the printer(s). the print job queues,...' I can print from kwrite, LibreOffice, and all HP device manager features such as 'align cartridges' seem to work.

What is a significant problem is that I can't print from Firefox or Thunderbird. The dialog boxes appear normal and say it is printing but I get no print. Any ideas?

This device has a choice of 2 'recommended' drivers hpijs 3.2.10 or cips 3.2.10. Problem exists with either driver.

See, we have this bug: http://bugs.rosalinux.ru/show_bug.cgi?id=1865
It is recommended to update poppler from these packages as well:
http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/djam_ ... 1.i586.rpm
http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/djam_ ... 1.i586.rpm
(from this topic in Russian, those printers are HP, too)
Just compare the versions to see which would be more convinient.

Thanks. That worked.
