Ok, I edited the description to reflect current situation, however I thought it was a common problem since it is a problem in 100% of printers I tried ubuntu with. If not, I will be more precise on drivers and printers, because these might be the only printers affected.
** Summary changed: - hpijs should be the default driver for HP laserjet 9000 + Default driver choices are completely wrong sometimes ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager If I add an hp laserjet printer, the default driver is the postscript one, which is slower and can't print double-sided on short-edge. The fact that it is "adviced" (or whatever it is in english) makes this worse, since a non-techie will never attempt to change what is an adviced default, and will just think that hp support in ubuntu is worse than in other operating systems. + + If I add a ricoh aficio printer, the default driver is the "gutenprint + simplified" which prints at a very bad resolution (sort of 10 dpi), + while setting the driver to hpijs makes it work well. -- Default driver choices are completely wrong sometimes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
