Well, I decided to remove the printer and reinstall. Everything went swimmingly, and, yes, the HP840C is supported and on the list. I'm not going to say that the print quality is awful, it just isn't that great compared to printing directly from HP's own software via Windoz. And what's worse, at the medium resolution setting (300x300dpi) it prints very slooooowly. Rem On Mon, 2004-01-26 at 16:12, Patrick Shanahan wrote:

I have just done a number of tests making copies of the same text and printing them using different printing resolutions. Everything printed used CUPS. Nothing I could do resulted in print quality that looked anything near as good as printing in Windoz using MS Word. Why is that, and can anything be done to match qualities?

Word documents opened in OpenOffice Writer and printed thru cups to my epson stylus photo 925 have as good text quality as lithographed documents. Either your configuration is lacking or your printer wrongly configured or not fully supported in linux. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
