I have the same problem with HP Color Laserjet 2550L -- it is connected to the Synology DS-209 NAS which served as print server and works with Windows 7/XP well with color printout. However, it only prints in grey in Edubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The foomatic-filter is 4.0.16-0ubuntu0.2 and cups version is 1.5.3-0ubuntu6. The printer once can print in color but it lost this ability after version updated. Please check my error_log generated when I printed the test page. ** Attachment added: "HP Color Laserjet 2550L print in grey with test print" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-filters/+bug/1002699/+attachment/3544058/+files/error_log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002699 Title: cups not respecting printing options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-filters/+bug/1002699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
