Hello J T, thanks for reporting that this is still a problem. I had originally filed this report in 2012, but since it never moved forward I just resigned and kept using the HPIJS driver, which produces much better (in terms of visually accurate) output. However, Till Kamppeter says that Ubuntu is actively phasing out the HPIJS driver. This means that the HPCUPS driver needs to be improved/fixed.
This bug is (upstream) assigned to Suma Byrappa, so he/she should be the person to contact. @Suma Byrappa: Can you confirm that hpcups uses different halftoning algorithms (amplitude vs. frequency modulation). Why is this? Why does it mainly concern greyscale prints, not color? How about adding an option of selecting the algorithm in the officially maintained driver (which is hpcups, as I understand)?
