Printing black text on a color background produces terrible results on my Photosmart 3210 printed using hplip 1.6.12 on Ubuntu 6.10. For example, just go to
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/mailing_lists.html and print the first page (making sure to set your browser print settings to print background colors). You will see that the black text bleeds into the blue background of the menu on the left side of the page. This page prints correctly on Windows XP. It also prints ok (but not perfectly) on Mac OS X but only if you set up your print settings to pretend that you have inkjet paper. Evidently, the HPLIP and Mac OS drivers for this 3200 series printer don't autodetect the type of paper. Since there is no way to set the paper type on the HPLIP driver for this printer, the output is lousy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
