[opensuse] Blue background printing Web pages
Often when I print a Web page, there is a blue background under much of it. This makes it hard to read and is using up my ink. Unchecking Background Graphics does not get rid of it.

fwiw, I also have an 8620 and hplip drivers and a network connection but have not observed blue background or blue tint but print very few web pages. I use firefox/qupzilla/vivaldi/wp3 but never chrom(ium) and most boxes are on Tw, server is 42.2. don't believe I have ever printed from the server. have you tried printing to a file/pdf and looking for the "blue"? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

have you tried printing to a file/pdf and looking for the "blue"?
I tried several PDFs and all printed fine. I switched from the hpcups driver to HP Officejet Pro k8600 hpijs, 3.16.5 (color, 2-sided printing). Problem went away. I've run out of cyan ink, so all printing is black and white, but there's no gray background, so I'll assume it's behaving. Thank you for the hint about different driver.

It is a driver listed in the CUPS admin Web page. I configure printers in CUPS.

On my system CUPS lists two drivers for the HP 8600: HP Officejet Pro k8600, hpcups, 3.16.5 HP Officejet Pro k8600, hpijs, 3.16.5 They come from the same package: viajero:~ # rpm -qf /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-officejet_pro_k8600-hpijs.ppd.gz hplip-hpijs-3.16.5-1.5.x86_64 viajero:~ # rpm -qf /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-officejet_pro_k8600.ppd.gz hplip-hpijs-3.16.5-1.5.x86_64 On my system the 8620 has these same two variants. Most 86X0 models have these same two variants. I notice some HP printers have 3 variants listed: hpcups, hpijs, and Foomatic/pcl3. Also Postscript variants, sometimes two with different language lists. Have you looked in CUPS to see what's on your system?

Have you looked in CUPS to see what's on your system?
"localhost:631" above now I see them, rpm -qf `locate hpcups` hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.17.9-2.2.x86_64 looks like they are intended for fax tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
