I haven't done anything to investigate this but thought I'd pass on
what I'm seeing. From Netscape (LM7.2/Cups) I get a "partial" print
as well. I do get some black text but it's so feeble that it looks
like I've got an empty cartidge in the machine. BUT, I can then print
from Word under Win4Lin and get first class output from my HP812. So,
I suspect you aren't having a hardware problem but rather how CUPs is
handling standard printing. Like you, CUPS is a bit frustrating at
first glance.
