| Color inkjet printer, max. 2400x1200 dpi, works Mostly |  | ||||||||||||||
| Recommended Driver: hplip (Home page) | |||||||||||||||
| Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler | |||||||||||||||
Miscellaneous
Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.
Comments
Multifunction device: print/copy/scan.
The model G55xi should be identical.
For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status, maintenance features, scanning and photo card unload use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).
The best output one gets with HP's HPIJS 1.3 or newer. If you cannot update to HPIJS 1.3 for some reason, you can also use HPIJS 1.2.2 with the patches from Matthias Bunte and Richard Spencer-Smith ("hpijs-rss"). The Gimp-Print driver also works (Model setting: "pcl-900"), but only up to 600 dpi.
Copying: should just work? Yes, independant of PC.
