I have that options for my HP colour laserjet printer (using a PPD file, CUPS PS driver, not HPLIP): *** Text Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only Graphics Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only Photographs Neutral Grays: [x] 4 colour / black only *** Those options are pretty close to its counterpart windows driver and can be changed at real time for each print. > I had the same problem using HPIJS drivers as well but the HPCUPS > haven't solved the problem either? > > Has anybody ever successfully printed a multi-coloured document with > both the B&W and colour cartridge used where black is printed using the > B&W cartridge and other colours printed using the colour cartridge like > in Windows? > > This seems closely related to this bug report: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+sour ... bug/235399 > > Seems nobody at HP have resolved the issue related to Linux printing or > am I doing something wrong? Have you tried by downloading the latest PPD file for your printer ("hpcups 3.10.6.15" or "hpijs 3.10.6.15") and adding a new printer instance with CUPS in the old fashioned way (I mean, without using HPLIP, just the provided PPD file)? :-?

Actually I have chosen the default driver provided by the hpcups package in Debian. Should I download a separate PPD from another website and try using that instead? I configured the printer using the CUPS interface only. Should I uninstall HPLIP? -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://literaryforums.org) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Latest available PPD file descriptor for you printer is (or seems to be) "3.10.6.15". What version do you have installed (PPD files are stored under "/etc/cups/ppd")? > I configured the printer using the CUPS interface only. Should I > uninstall HPLIP? No, don't unistall HPLIP. Just check the PPD file is up-to-date. If not, you can download the "tar.gz¹" and extract *only* the PPD file you need (/hplip-3.10.6/ppd/hpcups/...) so you can add a new printer in CUPS using that file (_do not delete_ the current printer, just _add_ another one. If neither works, you can easily delete the new printer and wait until HP corrects the bug). ¹ http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

No, I am not suggesting you to switch back to any driver, only that you can try with the latest PPD revision available for your printer, taking that you are experiencing some problems with the current one.
