My HP colour Laserjet was working fine (finally) with Mavericks but now I have installed Yosemite - it is rendered useless again. If I send a document to print - it shows up on the printer queue and then disappears as if it has printed but nothing is getting to the printer at all. Does anyone know yet how to remedy this?
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I had the same problem with a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. I followed the steps here and nothing worked for me. I thought it would never work, and that I will have to buy a new printer. So I kept trying until I got it working just fine (I think those steps you mentioned here were important. Although I'm not an expert)
What I did was really simple:
I only have one problem though, and I don't seem to be able to fix it. The problem I'm facing is with color prints. Black/Grey prints are really good and seems to be aligned, but the color prints seems to be misaligned! 😕 I am still trying to find a way to solve this problem.
Please let me know if my solution here solved your problems as well.
Sorry I did have the printer switched on but I had to switch it off and on again to see it in the add printer list. I loaded up the suggested printer driver but any print jobs are not picked up by the printer and printed. I even selected others at random but none work unfortunately.
I have also tried to reinstall the Foo2hp but failed in Xcode when it asked something about license agreement!? I do get lost in Xcode a bit though and will have another bash at it when I feel less demoralised.
Thanks for your help so far. Appreciate it.

I posted on the foo2hp forum about this and they also said it was a CUPS issue, but offered no suggestion. I tried your terminal commands but am still unable to print? The printer shows as paused, when I click resume, it goes back to paused after several second. Am I missing something?
Thank you!! I thought I would never get it to print. The colors are off, but I really just need to print minor stuff and this is great. Thanks for the feedback! Saved me from going out and having to buy a new printer.
Hey guys! I found a solution for the incorrect color alignment, may be a little too complicated. But once done, it should do the trick. (Working like a charm on Macbook OSX 10.11 El Capitan)

Could you solve it?? I had the same problem
I´ve installed it in my mac using the other driver as Rami said, but im having problems withe the colors now! If i print in pc they come out right, but same file in my mac has really bad colors!
sorry this is the screenshot of the add printer that I get now in Yosemite...
Should still work. Try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Check the HP web site for new drivers.
How is the printer connected? USB? Wireless?
it is usb
Same issue with my HP CP1215
If anyone can help...
Otherwise I will have to downgrade to Maveriks...
I Think you are right. I'm going to revert back to Mavericks on my Mac book air so I can still use the printer. But would still like to get this resolved for the iMac iwhich is next to the printer.
I am having the same issue with color printing. Please let me know if anyone finds a solution for it. And thanks to others for the tips on here, at least the black/grey prints great!
I managed to Rami_83 help. Thank you!
Thanks Rami!
It's works for me to on El Capitan, on my Macbook.
Many many thanks
