Product: OfficeJet 5258
Operating System: Other

HP does not provide a driver for Linux.  With the PPD driver "HP OfficeJet 5110 hpcups 3.13.3" (Note: that's the closest match to a 5200 series) installed on Ubuntu, the printer freezes after printing about 3" of a color test page.  Status of the printer is stuck at "printing", even after cancelling at the console and from the PC.  I've also tried generic PCL drivers with the same results in grayscale.  Any thoughts?
