I have the same problem with HP Color Laserjet 2550L -- it is connected to the Synology DS-209 NAS which served as print server and works with Windows 7/XP well with color printout. However, it only prints in grey in Edubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The foomatic-filter is 4.0.16-0ubuntu0.2 and cups version is 1.5.3-0ubuntu6. The printer once can print in color but it lost this ability after version updated. Please check my error_log generated when I printed the test page. ** Attachment added: "HP Color Laserjet 2550L print in grey with test print" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-filters/+bug/1002699/+attachment/3544058/+files/error_log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to foomatic-filters in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002699 Title: cups not respecting printing options Status in “foomatic-filters” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “foomatic-filters” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 12 precise I cannot change my print settings anymore. We have a Xerox 6121MFP printers, which up to 11.10 worked great with 6115MFP drivers (6121 were not present until the latest release). I tried creating the printer, both from Gnome and from Cups web interface, then tried again with 6115 drivers. In all cases documents are always printed with the default settings. So, if upon printer installation I set single-sided printing and monochrome, later on I cannot print in duplex mode or in color mode. I tried setting up the printer in duplex mode as default settings, then I wasn't able anymore to print in single sided. Installed cups version 1.5.2-9ubuntu1 [Impact] Option settings are not respected for all printers with foo2zjs drivers ("Foomatic/foo2...") and with Foomatic-based PostScript drivers ("Foomatic/Postscript"). For users of other Foomatic-based drivers ("Foomatic/...") often one option setting gets dropped. [Test Case] To reproduce without having the appropriate printer (foo2zjs must be installed): cupsctl FileDevice=yes cupsctl LogLevel=debug lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -m foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/Xerox-Phaser_6115MFP.ppd lpoptions -p test -l lp -d test -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o ColorMode=ICM ~/.bashrc "lpoptions -p test -l" shows that ColorMode is Monochrome and Duplex is None (default settings). With the current package the "lp" command produces a monochrome printout without duplex. You can see it in the error_log. Look at the lines with "[Job <job number>]" in it. The job with the current (buggy) package has, after the "File: <STDIN>" line, lines with "Option: ColorMode=Monochrome" and "Option: Duplex=None", the job with the proposed (fixed) package has "Option: ColorMode=ICM" and "Option: Duplex=DuplexNoTumble" instead, so the command-line supplied options are obeyed with the new package. [Regression Potential] The two fixes in the C code are trivial fixes, regressions cannot be caused by them.
