Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
Ever since I installed Ubuntu 7.04, my HP Officejet 5610 does not print
in full black unless I set the printout mode options to "600 dpi, color,
black + color cartridge". I set the default options in CUPS to this
setting. If I don't do this, I get a 80-90% grey, which looks like I
need to replace the black cartridge. The workaround was successful in
Feisty, Gutsy and Hardy.
Now that I've moved to 10.04, I've discovered that most programs will
not make use of this option. They print out in dark grey instead of
black, which does not look very professional.
There are three exceptions that I've found: OpenOffice.org, MSWord 2000
through Wine, and Scribus. All these programs use their own printer
dialogues instead of the standard one used by the other programs I've
tested (geany, gedit, Firefox, Tomboy notes, evince).
I booted up a 9.10 live CD and found the same problem there.
If I choose "print test page" in CUPS, it prints correctly in full
black.
There's an error message in cups.log (attached) which I think is
irrelevant to this report. It happened when I was trying to reconfigure
something and it crashed.
