Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hplip
I just upgraded a Karmic box to Lucid and use always use HPLIP from the
official repos.
When testing my Photosmart C5580 printer I noticed that the printer test
page said "600x600 dpi" resolution, it used to say "1200x1200 dpi" for
the past year and a half since HPLIP 2.8.7! Then I looked in the
printing dialog boxes (including hp-systray settings) and noticed that
the maximum dpi settings were reduced to 600 dpi, they used to be 1200
dpi.
I pulled the PPD file out of Karmic's "hpijs-
ppds_3.9.8-1ubuntu2_all.deb" package and compared it with the Lucid
version installed at /etc/cups/ppd/Photosmart_C5500.ppd and noticed that
all of the 1200 dpi entries were changed to 600 dpi including the
"Params=Quality:Quality=" line and the "-r" parameters.
I changed back everything that was regressed to 600 dpi res and quality
and performed visual tests and the problem appears to be fixed. I'm
going to attach the original PPD and my fixed version.
