(...) I have that options for my HP colour laserjet printer (using a PPD file, CUPS PS driver, not HPLIP): *** Text Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only Graphics Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only Photographs Neutral Grays: [x] 4 colour / black only *** Those options are pretty close to its counterpart windows driver and can be changed at real time for each print. > I had the same problem using HPIJS drivers as well but the HPCUPS > haven't solved the problem either? > > Has anybody ever successfully printed a multi-coloured document with > both the B&W and colour cartridge used where black is printed using the > B&W cartridge and other colours printed using the colour cartridge like > in Windows? > > This seems closely related to this bug report: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+sour ... bug/235399 > > Seems nobody at HP have resolved the issue related to Linux printing or > am I doing something wrong? Have you tried by downloading the latest PPD file for your printer ("hpcups 3.10.6.15" or "hpijs 3.10.6.15") and adding a new printer instance with CUPS in the old fashioned way (I mean, without using HPLIP, just the provided PPD file)? :-?
