Newly installed xfce.
When printing from Thunderbird or Firefox, my printer works just fine. Black text on white paper.
When printing from LibreOffice Writer or LeafPad, it prints all black pages.
I do have cups 1.4.8-r22 installed.
My printer is an HP OfficeJet and I also have HPlip 3.12.2-r2 installed.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I've had this problem in the past with HP printers. I used the CUPS Manager in a browser window and changed to a PostScript driver for the printer, and all was well.

Went to CUPS and changed the driver and now the printer seems be working fine. Thanks very much!
