Probably not. The printer is intelligent enough to decide by itself how to make black correctly. However for my 600dpi output, I am currently using (for my 690C) the extra 'hpdj' driver that is built into the Debian version of Ghostscript (it is not a standard ghostscript driver). This driver has a seperate manpage. This driver is probably the best general purpose HP deskjet driver there is currently. (see ftp://ftp.pdb.sni.de/pub/utilities/misc/hpdj.html) If you want really good colour support you can use the hp850 http://www.erdw.ethz.ch/~bonk/software.html driver. I think there is a gs-alladin package in project/experimental that has this compiled in. Unfortunately there seems to be no driver that supports the photo cartridge. Jan
