As nothing worked I find this from a blog post and my /var/log/cups/error_log is the same as attached in.
The weird thing is I can only print from HP Device Manager a page to align my cartridges. If I try to print a test page or a pdf file it fails with this message :

"/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed"
I have tried also solution provided in wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#HPLIP_printer_sends_.22.2Fusr.2Flib.2Fcups.2Fbackend.2Fhp_failed.22_error
I tried and my printer works. So hope it helps you. I started a discussion on wiki to tell that permission have to be 660 or 666.
