Applied updates, rebooted, installed latest hplip packages. Copied form10align.py into /ui directory. Removed queue. ~/.cups/lpoptions contained nothing but "DEST HP960C mirror=true". Removed the lpoptions file anyway. /etc/cups/ppd directory was empty. /etc/papersize was set to a4. (Who's responsible for initializing this? This seems to be the source of my problems.) Manually changed to letter. Used HPLIPS to install printer, took the recommended printer.
Aligned via the toolbox. [Printer had been aligned in Windows when cartridges installed. Shouldn't have needed alignment, but did it per request.] ALIGNMENT PRINTOUT HAS BANDING in Magenta pattern (roughly the 2nd quarter from the bottom). This banding also appears in composite grey pattern, which is built with Magenta. Used CUPS to change to 1200 DPI, Photo and reprinted HPLIPS Test page. NO BANDING in photo! Used HPLIPS to change back to Controlled by Printout Mode, Normal (auto detect paper type), and reprinted HPLIPS Test page. BANDING in photo! Retried 2 up, reverse print. STILL runs off page. (KDE Print Manager and HPLIPS both indicate Letter sized paper.) For what it's worth, OpenOffice seems to maintain its own printer settings. Switching the toolbox to Landscape, then starting OO with a blank page, bring up its printer settings and it indicates Portrait. Additionally, if using the HPLIPS driver, there's no option for CUPS to change the orientation. I'll downgrade to 1.7.1 to see if the problems are still there, but it's not going to happen tonight. I'm thoroughly impressed by the responsiveness of your support!
