[HP Deskjet 6940 Printer] "Media sensor detects paper type and automatically sets print quality to ensure optimal results"
As far as I know the sensor detects basically the light reflection and if it detects a certain amount of glossiness the sensor-magic assumes it is photo paper. I.e. if the non-HP photo paper is matt, the sensor-magic might fail to detect it as photo paper.
So it does seem possible (especially when the same company makes both the sensor and the paper).
For now I think this is conspiracy theory. In any case, remember what I already wrote here on 2 Feb: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the question if certain HP printers may not feed non-HP paper for whatever special print mode, best ask HP directly for example via http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html provided you use the HPLIP driver. To make sure you use the HPLIP driver, set up a print queue by HP's own setup tool "hp-setup". To do this, best run "hp-setup" directly as root. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
