adrian-hplip-debian-bug-sample-image-2017-11-10.jpg shows a young man in a reddish shirt and a black-white background with cars and buildings. The only other coloured object is a sign in red behind the man. Are we seeing the same thing? > Additionally, please note: This error also applies to the windows hp > printer driver. The only thing that would imply to me is that the printer is at fault. But I could be completely wrong.

Fixing any error in the Debian printing system requires co-operation from you. You have the printer and there is only so much we can do. Your print queue has a PPD in /etc/cups/ppd. Do (as root): cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/<M452_PPD> -m printer/foo -e --list-filters > filters Post filters to the bug as an attachment. Now use the original of adrian-hplip-debian-bug-sample-image-2017-11-10.jpg to do: cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/<M452_PPD> -m printer/foo -e <adrian_original> > adrian.ps Examine adrian.ps with a PostScript viewer. Post it to the bug. What do you think of its quality? Thanks in advance, Brian.
