The problem is not really OpenOffice. This is a bug in the HP drivers. I have seen it happen on all HP inkjet color printers I have used in my years of Linux usage (6 years, and I haven't used laser color printers to see if that happens to them). Unfortunately, it seems not enough people complain about it. Currently this is what I do: after Ubuntu automatically installs the printer, I set it to print to color, in 600 dpi Black+Color cartridge (pick your poison here). Then, I manually add a new printer, pointing it to the same printer, and set this one to print with only black cartridge.
At least in this way, I don't have to enter dialogs, tabs and menus just to set color, I just pick one of the printers. Unfortunately, this still isn't good enough for mixed documents, then it still prints text as mixed color ink (that's why I just bought a bulk ink system). Hope that helps. -- "Print black" does not use black ink cartridge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
