I have an HP PSC 2175. I'm using a modern version of cups (v1.2,
debian testing). I have _no_ problems printing normal (letter) jobs
nor scanning (both work well). According to the cups page, here the
make and model of the drivers:
HP PSC 2175 Foomatic/hpijs - HPLIP 1.6.10
So, it seems I have things set-up correctly. For the life of me, I
can't get high resolution photos to print on 4x6 photo paper. I've
done a good bit of online doc searching, but haven't found anything
very specific - nor any suggestion that worked.
Now, I know this printer is capable of it (so it's not a printer
hardware issue). Using the "print photo from memory card" feature, I
can get a pretty borderless image on my photo paper.
Things I've tried include:
- printing using a GUI (f-spot) and a "4x6" paper size directly to the printer
- utilizing gimpprint via GIMP (ok, so this isn't relevant to the
list, but I thought I'd throw it out there)
- making a "correct" sized postscript as suggested at:
http://lists.freestandards.org/pipermail/printing-user-hp/2004/004658.html
- specifying a bunch of options directly to lpr based on lpoptions commands
- making sure lpoptions has "page-top=0 page-bottom=0 page-left=0 page-right=0"
I even tried all suggestions in the documentation at:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/printing.html
All of these failed in various ways, and I tweaked a bunch of more
minor settings.
Using the HPLIP driver, I can get the photo to print at high
resolution (1200 dpi) but it shrinks the photo and puts a border
around the image (i.e. no full-bleed).
Any suggestions on getting this to work? Am I doing something silly?
The drivers suggest this is possible - so what is wrong? Is there
some change between 1.6.10 and 1.6.12 (current?) that might address
this?
TIA.
