For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS

as printer status and maintenance features, use the
HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).
Same printer as 842C.
Older comments:
Works out of the box with various PCL3 drivers.
Under Linux this printer does up to 600x600dpi in colour with
CRET. To obtain this use the Gimp-Print driver (4.1.99) in 600x600
dpi, or the cdj880 or cdj970 drivers with RET turned on and
presentation quality.

Text: cdj670/300x300
Photo: cdj880/2400x2400
STP not tested.
