On your system there are probably happening two firmware concurrently when you are turning on the printer.

Try

sudo chmod a-r /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1006.dl

to block the firmware upload done by foo2zjs. Then turn off and turn on your printer. If the printer does not start working correctly by that, run

sudo hp-plugin -i

and follow the instructions on the screen to download the HP plug-in (another source for the printer's firmware, used by HPLIP).

Check also which driver got assigned to your printerand tell it here. Change to the "hpijs" driver if another driver got chosen.
