Recommended Driver: gutenprint (Home page, Driver packages: x86 32 bit: 5.2.7 (RPM for LSB 3.2) (Signed), 5.2.7 (DEB for LSB 3.2) (Signed), 5.0.1 (RPM for LSB 3.1) (Signed), 5.0.1 (DEB for LSB 3.1) (Signed), x86 64 bit: 5.2.7 (RPM for LSB 3.2) (Signed), 5.2.7 (DEB for LSB 3.2) (Signed), 5.0.1 (RPM for LSB 3.1) (Signed), 5.0.1 (DEB for LSB 3.1) (Signed) (How to install))
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.

Comments

Works fine with ghostscript.

This model uses both color and bw cartridges. It cannot really mix black with the other colours, but only print them side by side (CMY+K mode). See the man page of the "pcl3"/"hpdj" driver packages ("man gs-pcl3"/"man gs-hpdj").

For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

Works with uniprint driver cdj550.upp, too.

Consumables/Refills: two cartridges, include printhead
