Notes
Multi-function device: Printing, scanning, copying, fax, photo card access.
For basic printing functionality use the http://hplip.sf.net/">HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status, maintenance features, scanning and photo card unload use the http://hplip.sf.net/">HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).
The best printout quality you will get with the "hpijs" driver, provided by HP (compatible to the HP DeskJet 990C), especially the 1200-dpi high resolution mode gives excellent photo quality (the rendered bitmap is 1200x1200 dpi, but the printer hardware does an interpolation then and prints with the printer's highest resolution). Also the Gimp-Print driver is reported to work (Model setting: "pcl-900").
When used with HP's "hpijs" driver, this printer auto-detects the paper type and ink cartridge type and does appropriate dithering and colour adjustment internally, controlled by the hardware. So when GhostScript with the "hpijs" driver only renders the image with 300 or 600 dpi, higher resolutions are used for the internal dithering. So if you insert photo paper, the printer will print in photo quality, no paper type choice in the driver's options is needed. There is also a special high resolution mode where the image is rendered in 1200 dpi and interpolated to 4800x1200 dpi by the hardware, without paper detection, intended for photo paper only.
Border-less (full bleed) printing on paper sizes up to Oufuku-Hagaki is supported with the "hpijs" driver.
In addition this device copies, faxes and prints photos directly from CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and Memory Stick, but these functions are currently only controllable by the front panel, not by the PC. To choose photos from your memory card, the machine makes an index sheet with thumbnails of all photos and you can mark which photos you want to print and how they should get printed with a pen on the sheet and then you scan the sheet to execute the printing job.
