-------------------------------------------- Indeed, cups does print. But it doesn't have perks of the HP device manager that lets you clean/align and check the status of the cartridges etc. At least I haven't found that in cups. So I'm keeping my good ol' squeeze around that has hplip installed so I access those functions should I ever need them. Related tip . . . my black cartridge dried out a few months ago. I found a youtube video that offered several suggestions how to get it working again. I chose to soak the head in warm distilled water for a few hours. It worked!! And that cartridge is still functioning months later. golinux _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
