I don't know if anyone else has had problems with their printerJohn - have you tried setting up a new printer from MCC, forcing MCC to identify the printer? It seems to do a much better job at find the right driver than you can do by hand.
driver/spooling
in M9.0 as me but mine is totally stuffed on the colour side and
nothing I do to
correct the appauling colour balance , hue , saturation and brightness
makes any difference .
Since M8.0 my Z52 's and Z53 all ran on a choice of 2 ghostscript and one
generic driver all of which worked right up to M8.2. The generic drive
was hard to set up,and I gave up on it but the two ghostscript
drivers worked , one was better at low resolution dpi setting
and the other was better with higher resolution, dpi 600 and
above.
Now nothing works in colour. I've spent hours trying to correct the
situation , wasted an entire cartridge , enless paper, but I cannot
correct it. I think the problem is not in the driver as such, and
in any case the pictures display well enough on screen so
the files are not currepted. It seems to be in the spooling
something overrides and currupts any corrections to
colour ba;lance, hue, saturation and brightness, the result
is awful and quite useless.
I don't think there is anything I can do to fix it.Whatever
is wrong is in the software and uncorrectable.
I just wondered whether anyone else has had the same problem.

I have one printer set up on four different configurations or different jobs - and all of them work fine.

of driver. As a matter of fact the test pages are quite good though a little
pale in colour. No, the problem is with whatever really controls the
spooling. I've been to kde -system -print manager to tweek the controlls,
ever so many times. I've used MCC hardware - printer to remove , add and generally
tried every available driver many times , I've wasted days on this now.
As far as adjusting colour is concerned it's not difficult to see, that of the
3 primary colours, it's red that is missing, so you go to adjust the magenta
levels , but doubling and trebling the level makes marginal difference. I
don't think whatever is really controlling the colour balance has
been set right. Maybe a complete new install is called for. John
Anyway just in case you think it's the cartridge let me assure you reverting
back to M8.2( one of the advantages of dual booting) and putting
the same files though a print cycle produces perfect output. Seems
to suggest someone has changed something and now it don't work right.
No problems with black and white though.
