It never worked easily for me, I always had to spend 45 minutes screwing around with the printer to get anything to come out. Conflicts with usblp module. Also, the installation process left some things to be desired (e.g. foo2zjs webpage explicitly states not to use distributions packages and to install it manually instead). Basically it was always a hassle for me. HPLIP is an official (and supported?) driver and seems to have all the features that the Windows printer drivers have, which foo2zjs didn't necessarily do (or do as easily). More importantly, it worked right the first time I tried it. :)
