OK the details:
I have had trouble from the outset printing .pdf files as these always
produced a few smudges on the paper. This is using the standard
"Document Viewer" app. as above. I have now downloaded and installed
Adobe Viewer and printing is fine. Also, printing from a terminal with
the "lp" command works. I use a HP Laserjet P1005 printer, HPLIP
printing services, all of which including my Ubuntu are up-to-date.
The results of "hp-check -t" are below:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Only thing i couldn't understand here is the "must be member of lp"
bit - I am so this does not compute.
This is probably a low priority thing since I guess most people will
use Adobe rather than the "Document Viewer"
