Mmm... it is not clear to me -from the bug you pointed- what driver options was using the reporter ("hplip" or "hpijs"). > The ACTUAL option was not available in the newer hpcups driver, but it > is available in the older hpijs driver, but the result is the same. :-( That is a different bug you should report (meaning: hpjis has the possibility to select using black cartridge -which fails- and hlpip does not). It's a missing feature. > That's why I haven't filed a bug. HPLIP developers haven't cared for it > for years (?) Never read an official response. If you leave it and don't insist, they won't do anything :-( Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Nevertheless I suppose I might have to add my voice. Problem is it appears hpijs has been deprecated in favour of hpcups and now I am wondering whether the printout quality was an intentional omission. With the HPCUPs driver I cannot even select the DPI resolution :-( -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://lawstudentscommunity.com) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm afraid yes because HPLIP uses launchpad to handle support questions and bug reports. > Problem is it appears hpijs has been deprecated in favour of hpcups and > now I am wondering whether the printout quality was an intentional > omission.

Apparently the web interface for CUPS is not exposing the settings. But even the hplip-gui tools don't seem to have the settings necessary to control printout quality and ink-type. I think this implies that the hpcups driver is more intelligent than the old hpijs one and should automatically detect the type of ink to be used, but it hasn't worked so far with my printer. SO far I haven't read any threads dealing with the hpcups driver. Most of the online discussions on this issue are centered around the old driver interface. -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://lawstudentscommunity.com) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
