The OfficeJet D135 and many other of the current HP inkjet printers do all the
color management and dithering in the hardware, the driver sends simple RGB
data. The printer also auto-detects the paper type to switch between the 4-ink
standard mode and the 3-ink photo mode.
Can it be that you have set your printer into 1200-dpi photo mode ("Printout
Mode"set to "Photo")? This mode assumes photo paper (no auto-detction) and
always prints in 3-ink mode. Do not use it with normal paper, otherwise you will
not get solid black. On normal paper you should use the 600-dpi mode ("Printout
Mode"set to "High Quality").
If this still does not work, you should try to override the hardware color
management facility by pretending that your printer is an HP DeskJet 970C. Set
up a new print queue with printerdrake, but when you are asked to confirm that
your printer model is an HP OfficeJet D135, tell you want to choose your printer
model manually and choose the HP DeskJet 970C. Now set "Printout Mode" to "High
Quality" to get the best quality for normal paper and to "Photo" if you use
photo paper.
Please report if you obtain better results this way.
This change will not affect the scanning capability. The model/driver choice is
independent of the automatic installation of HPOJ. The HPOJ installation is
fully controlled by the actually detected model name and a confirmation check
done by HPOJ itself.

description:
(That's not entirely true.)
When I print using my Officejet D135, it only uses the color cartridge to print.
It's supposed to autodetect by the paper type and I'm using plain old inkjet paper.
Expected behavior: A mixed text and graphic page should use the black cartridge
for solid black (text) and the color cartridge for color.
Actual behavior: If the page is only black, the driver uses the black cartridge,
but if the page has any color, the driver uses only the color cartridge.
