Hello: For about a year, I've printed color documents on an HP DeskJet 820Cse (that's right: their "Special Edition" for Windows only) using the CUPS driver. The major problem is that the color balance is totally off. The test page color wheel has blank white where yellow should be, and gray where white should be. Yellows don't show up at all. At first I blamed the cartridge--right up to the point where I substituted another tricolor cartridge and got the same result. I also sent a job to that printer from Windows, and the colors were properly in balance, with all the yellows in place. Is this a problem with CUPS, or was there always something about the DeskJet 820Cse that I never took into account? In setting up the print queues on my Linux machines (both of them), I used the DeskJet 820C driver--because CUPS *has no* driver labeled 820Cse. I'm thinking of getting another color printer that is on the CUPS driver list--I have several to choose from, with a wide variety of interfaces. (I'm not inclined to get a multifunction job--apparently Fedora support for them is even more limited, if recent threads are at all indicative.) Does anyone else have color-balance problems with sending color jobs to color printers using CUPS? If so, how did you solve them? And if anyone could tell me what numbers on the existing 820C driver I can play around with, to get the yellows back the way they should be, I'd appreciate it. Temlakos
