Fedora recognized it, and installed a Foomatic driver for it.
When I attempt to print a test page, everything "seems" to work on the

side. A job shows up in a print queue, for a few seconds, then Fedora tells me that
the job printed succesfully, and the job disappears off the queue.
But the printer stays absolutely silent.
I see absolutely nothing useful in /var/log/cups. access_log claims success:

Despite what anything says here, the printer just sleeps, doing nothing. It never
shows any indication that it's getting a print job.
So, where do I go from here? Hate to throw this printer away, but Fedora/CUPS is
refusing to cooperate.
Maybe a silly question, but do you have the hplip packages installed?
I don't have that printer....but when I go to
http://localhost:631/ and go through
the process to modify my printer one of the select-able models is....
HP LaserJet p1006, hpijs, 3.12.2, requires proprietary plugin (en)
Don't know what the plugin may be....but maybe giving that a try?
