I haven't been able to test this on 14.04. I use 14.04 now and I believe
the parallel port was disabled in HP driver long ago. If the parallel
port is still disabled then I would recommend filing this bug as an hp
problem.

Anyway I can't generate a cups report because it doesn't use cups(only
hplip is supported). I thought it was very strange that a parallel port
printer would no longer work because the driver doesn't support parallel
ports. Ideally we, as a community, could just add some kind of cups
driver for this printer an bypass HP altogether. In hteory, everything
is there and works, plus it has worked flawlessly until HP droppedthe
parallel port.

Title:
  Laserjet 3150 doesn't print

Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  HP Laserjet 3150 connected to parallel port doesn't print test page (or anything). The printer is detected and installs fine. It says it printed fine but nothing happens and no errors. Initially I got Device communication error 5012 hplip... but now the error is gone after installing the latest hplip and enabling EPP in bios. Prints fine on winXP. Tried using the repository drivers, followed by compiling the latest from HP. Also tried the hpijs driver. Tried rebooting. Tried adding via system printer dialogue and hp-setup. Network printing to another printer works fine(HP Officejet L7555). Verified the bios is using EPP mode. Verified the kernel sees the /dev/parport0. Verified the following:
  lsmod | grep lp 
  lp                     17759  0 
  parport                46345  3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc

  I read another post about the wrong command set for this printer but I
  don't know where to change it or what to change it to?
