Hi Michele,
Yes, the driver sets density to 5. I have to investigate this further to
figure out how best to handle this.
If you must print at other density values, you will have to change the
driver, let me
know and I can tell you where to look for it.

Subject: [Hplip-help] Print density (LJ 1022n)

Hello,

I have a little problem with the "print density" setting on my LaserJet
1022n (connected to a router).

I've printed a page and noticed that text and lines (tables) are a bit
too "thick/dark" when printed under Linux, but look fine when printed
under Windows. From what I understand this can be changed by reducing
the print density to a lower value.

I had a look at the current print density value by using my web browser
and typing in the IP address of my printer: it was set to 5, so I
reduced it to 3 and tried printing the same page again. Nothing changed.
I went back to check the setting and it was back at 5. I set it to 3
again and tried a couple more times.

But everytime it goes back to 5. So I looked at the Print Settings of
hp-toolbox, I played around a bit with "Printout mode" and "Quality" but
no matter what I do the density setting is back to 5 after I print a
page (and the page itself gets printed with a setting of 5).
In Windows the setting can be changed on the property page of the
printer, but I didn't find any such option in hp-toolbox.

So my question is this: How can I "force" the printer to print at a
density of 3?

Thanks in advance,
Michele.

P.S. I'm using hplip-2.7.6 and hplip-hpijs-2.7.6 rpms from Packman on
opensuse 10.2.
