I have the P1006 printer, and I've successfully used it under Linux
for a while.

The steps I've found successful are to install the hplip and hplip-gui
packages, run the hp-toolbox utility (that comes as part of the
hplip-gui package), have it download the firmware for the printer, and
then check for any SELinux alerts related to the firmware file and fix
those.  Without the firmware, the printer is quite useless.
