[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printing in LInux
Hello, my printer is a HP 870 Cxi. I used YaST to configure it (with the ASP filter 'hpdj' , which seems to be the best for this printer _ I think ... ) It works fine, but in monochrome, whereas I switched all the 'color' options I could find. Moreover, when I edit the configuration file in /etc, the color option is present. Is someone using SuSE 5.2 and a HP 870 Cxi could help me ?

Does your printer have a thing saying "For Windows" next to the place it says 870Cxi? If so, I may not have to buy another printer. -- Aaron Seelye <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I'm using an HP 855-Cxi (the forerunner of the 870 Cxi) with the YaST installed driver for the HP 550 C, and it works fine in color or monocrome. It should work for the 870 Cxi also. My Linux is SuSE 5.2. Lawrence Sayre <lsayre@stratos.net> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
I use an HP Deskjet 890C which I have configured under YaST by claiming it was an 850C (I chose cdj850) & I get full colour - the same number may work for you. I am guessing that hpdj is just a standard monochrome deskjet driver. If you look in the printing HOW-TO you will find a link to the Ghostscript homepage, you can find out there which printers are supported and what you should configure them as with apsfilter. Hope that helps. Laurent Francoise wrote:

I tried the cdj850 driver (using YaST) for my HP 855 Cxi, and it prints only a small print in one corner of the paper. Changing apsfilter to 1n from 2n made it print on 1/4 of the paper vs. 1/8 with the default 2n. I changed to the cdj550 driver, and it works! Did you experience anything like this with your 890C?
