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.

I had a similar problem in the past (but I have an Epson EPL-6200 PS3 printer, so perhaps the things differs from what you're seeing)...
I resolved it when I noticed that in File - Page setup window the html page is always formatted for "Any Printer": you guess it, by explicity selecting my printer in the above window in place of "Any Printer" I got Firefox print correctly...
I did not find a way to make the setting permanent, though.
Anche io ho lo stesso problema con la mia stampante epson SX125.
Su file -Imposta pagina mi da sempre stampante generica, nonostante metto al suo posto la mia stampante
e dico applica continua a non stampare le pagine web con Firefox oltre che a ritornare sempre su
stampante generica.
Ho già segnalato il problema molto tempo fa ma non ho visto alcun commento.
Grazie

Hope this helps...

Don't know if that fix would work here as I had already installed poppler and libpoppler35 packages as described here:
installed those packages and printing from Firefox and Thunderbird now works normally. I did check and my File>Page setup does indicate 'Any printer' as you described. Would be interested to see if those packages correct issue for you and ninarello19?
