Cups black printing blue
Hello, Has anybody else come across this problem; text now prints blue instead of black, including the cups print test page Kernel version: 2.4.25-k7 Device /dev/usb/lp0 Cups: ii cupsys 1.1.20final+cv Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.20final+cv Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman ii cupsys-client 1.1.20final+cv Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro ii cupsys-driver- 4.2.6-7Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS ii cupsys-driver- 4.2.6-7Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS Printer epson c70 (individual ink tanks) Ink levels all over 50% Action so far: Checked logs - no error messages Shutdown printer and removed power lead for 30 secs Run /etc/init.d/cupsys stop and start Full reboot. Only thing that has changed on my system is the addition of open-office via apt about a week ago but I cannot say the problem coincides with that.

I had this once. My hp855C was printing a very Dark Blue Black as well as cyan, magenta and yellow. Even all black was Dark Blue. It was the cartridge. Some how the ink was not mixed properly and had sort of separated. Giving me *VERY* black ink for a while, then once day while printing my Daughters report for school... it started to print this Blue. I changed the Black cartridge and within seconds I could see black letters being printed. You of course also realize 99% of Black inkjet cartridges, actually have *REALLY REALLY* dark blue in them. Print a BLACK test block, then carefully wash it out in cold water sifting... Blue is the color that comes out. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Print a BLACK test block, then carefully wash it out in cold water "sifting"... Blue is the color that comes out. Thanks but I don't think this applies in this instant as when I run escputil -n (nozzle check) black is black. Also the blue is "this colour" Cheers Robin
