Basically the OS is telling you that it has lost the ability to write data to the printer. This would typically be caused by some sort of corruption in the CUPS printing system.
The first thing I would try is Restting the print system and re-adding the printer.
To do this open System Preferences and then Open Print & Fax. Then <control> click or right click on the blank space around the list of printers on the left hand side. You should see a pop up menu and the option to Reset print system.
Once you select that the OS will restore the CUPS printing system to all the original default settings. Thsi will of course erase all of your print queues.
Once that is done I would reboot the Macintosh and the printer. Then go back to System Preferences--> Print & Fax and then re-add the printer.

I did. That did not work.
So I erased the printers from my preferences now I can not get the HP loaded again. I thought I remembered how the HP tech laded my 26500 but I guess I don't.
