In the print dialog box go to properties and set to print command to: kprinter --stdin if you are using KDE, if not you can achieve the same results by using gtklp or xpp with the appropriate command.
My printer is an HP 932C. I installed color1 with the gimp-print driver, color2 with hpijs and color3 with hpdj.
The recommended driver for your printer according to Linuxprinting.org is the hpijs. http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_932C
The thing that confuses me is that this does not seem consistent with resolutions I see for a particular driver when I look at a printer with kups or gtklp. Can anyone explain this?
The available resolutions are defined in the ppd files. It all depend which one you are using.
With my printer color1 that uses the gimp-print driver, I look at the setup with gtklp and under the PPD tab I see for the quality the choices are 150, 300 and 600 but no 2400.
Most likely because Gimp-print does not have full support for your printer yet. So, in essence you are using a generic HP Inkjet ppd file which limits it to 600 dpi. Of course one can always edit the ppd file and add/change/delete stuff. I actually hate choosing resolution and paper type all the time. What I do is to define several print queues with different quality and paper type and give them meaningful names. YMMV Charles -- We are using Linux daily to UP our productivity - so UP yours!
