I experience exactly the same problem as Eric with bleeding text on coloured background. Network attached Photosmart 3210, HPLIP 1.7.4a on openSUSE 10.2. Printing an Impress slide (from OpenOffice or exporting to pdf and then printing the pdf)on HP Bright White Inkjet paper gives this bleeding. Printing the same pdf from Windows XP gives perfect result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
