Hi, I'm running hplip 1.6.10 on debian to drive a networked C6180 printer/scanner using the HP-PhotoSmart_C6100-hpijs.ppd file.
All is well, apart from printing to glossy photo paper. When doing so, and selecting photo paper output from the lower (A4) tray and full colour + black I am getting a picture that looks like all the black is missing. Here's an example of what's happening. http://www.infomax.co.uk/hp/Calibrate-PhotoPaper.jpg However, if I print on plain A4 cheap paper, it works fine - eg: http://www.infomax.co.uk/hp/Calibrate-PlainPaper.jpg This rather goes against my theory that the black jets are clogged (printer is only 3 weeks old and I have run a clean-jets program and a colour-calibration). The JPEG I was printing from (via the Gimp) is here: http://www.infomax.co.uk/hp/Calibrate-Original.jpg I repeated the test, loading the original JPEG onto a CF card and printing locally on the printer (PhotoExpress). Similar result - skewed colours on photo paper (black missing AFAICS), fine on plain A4. This seems to point towards a faulty printer, but I would like to run it by folks here just in case it's one of those "you twit - you didn't enable <blah>" type problems. Returning the printer is a hassle unless it's really broken and HP's indian helpdesk isn't much use, alas... I'm also interested if anyone's seen this before. BTW - fine piece of work, HPLIP - I was up and running in minutes and xsane interfaces beautifully to the scanner component - including the ADF - I am most impressed - thanks to all those who put effort into this project.
