Hi - Thanks for your email.. I have no idea what HPLIP means, or how I even can find that out about my printer. BUT, be that as it may, at least the final document(s) are not grayish. My settings for the HP Photosmart 8050 are not quite the same as yours, so I can't select the 300dpi, Color,

If you want the printer to print in true black you can select (300/600/1200dpi) Grayscale, Black cartridge. The easiest way to do this is to to run hp-toolbox, click the printer, then click print settings, under Quality' select the setting you'd like. To run hp-toolbox in ubuntu you may need to

Aaron, here I think HPLIP (Mary, HPLIP is HP's driver package for their printers and multi-function devices) should get more user-friendly. As HPLIP PPDs are noe generated by CUPS DDK and not by Foomatic any more, one could introduce an Installable Options group in which the administrator can

Actually, this is a pretty old bug (I have noticed that since I bought my printer 4 years ago). For those who are still wondering, it's a cupsys/printer driver problem. As it is, it doesn't matter what options one selects at the app itself, unless they are in the print dialog through the options

Yea, what I entailed is that it may be potential to be a beleaguer in cups/printer number one wood against openoffice.org. Publishing from an undomesticated gnome app when your color cartridge is low should be able to prove whether it is an Oyo bug or something wrong with the printing system. I

Yes, this sounds like a cupsys issue or at least a printer definition issue for your printer in cupsys. Reassigning to cupsys. Thanks! Chris Cheney ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: openoffice.org = cupsys Importance: Undecided = High -- Print black does not use black ink

David, Don, Shiyun, can you check whether one could do the following improvements: 1. For LIDIL printers: Offer always a Quality setting for the printer with only one cartridge (only black, only color) 2. For the RGB printers: If it is possible to control by software that only the black

This is a problem of how the printer is supported by its driver, or even of the printer's firmware. HP has two classes of printers: Cheaper ones where the driver needs to control everything and more expensive ones where the driver sends an RGB image and the printer does automatically what it

So, the stars finally aligned, and not only was a cartridge (tri-color, specifically) running low, but I also had the presence of mind to test out the problem. I printed out a black-ink document with KPDF and sure enough, I started getting that purplish pinkish color instead of black by the second

I've never seen a Print black option in any other application outside of OOo. The point to the bug is precisely THAT option not working. If there's another app with a Print black option, I'll gladly test it out. However, I'm not real keen on wasting several ink cartridges on several apps. I only

I probably should have clarified that when I select File Print... Printer Options Contents Print black the black text is not, in fact, being printed with the black ink cartridge, but with the tri- color, and as this cartridge slowly runs out, my black slowly turns pink... salmon actually.
