KDE 2.x has known printing problems, among them are pagination. These are pretty much fixed in KDE 3. If non KDE print jobs look OK, the problem is with KDE. Ghostscript packages have some nice example postscript files to test printers. > using CUPS and the Hewlett > Packard inkjet driver. It printed out but not well on an Apollo 2250.

Are you using the 'Apollo-P-2250-hpijs-ppd.ppd' from linuxprinting.org http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.cgi?driver=hpijs&printer=Apollo-P-2250 or just a generic HP inkjet driver? Are you using this PPD file in PPD file aware apps (like KDE apps, {Star,Open}Office, etc)? > I did some with photo and > some in grayscale - same problem.

Well, one would expect developers who are given the specs and paid under contract to be able to write better drivers than those who do it for free, although this is not always the case :) > Do laser printers print better?
