Wow... I just checked the difference between Linux and Windows
printing
using my printer. The speed difference is also amazing. In Windows the
printer responds so quickly and also prints the page fast. The black
and
greyscale parts of the printed page are crisp, sharp and clear (as it
clearly uses the black cartridge) and the colours are rendered using
the
colour cartridge as per normal.
So well yes, the Linux drivers STILL face this issue and I'm not sure
whether it will ever be fixed at all. Even the old hpijs drivers have
the
same issue and so does the new hpcups driver.
I feel very disappointed that I cannot take multi-colour document
printouts properly in Linux even after all these years. :-(
Not to worry. Cheap printers are designed to die fast, so in a year or
two you'll be shopping for a new printer anyway. When you do, be sure
to check the hplip compatibility page *first*, and only buy a printer
that has *full* hplip support. It's what I did prior to buying my last
inkjet, and I must say I've never regretted it since (well, with the
exception of the cartridge prices which are a ripoff.)
I simply don't buy any hardware that isn't well supported in GNU/Linux:
I've learned that doing my research *first* is waaay better than
pulling my hair out and flooding Linux support forums later.
For what it's worth, by purchasing a Linux-compatible device I increase
its market success by 1 unit, so I also "send a message" to the
manufacturers (well, sort of).
P.S. Could you please trim your posts?
