Comments
This is a small (4 x 6 inch/10 x 15 cm/A6) printer especially for printing photos taken with digital cameras. It has ports on the side for inserting SmartMedia, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, and Secure Digital & MultiMedia digital "film" and has an LCD panel that lets you select pictures from the "film" to print, so one can use the device as a digital photo lab without PC.
Due to the small paper size and not using black ink its usability for PC documents is very limited, but it works with various PCL drivers which support 3-ink CMY and A6/Postcard/4x6-Photo paper size. If the driver does not support such small paper formats the upper left corner of the page is printed. The best quality you will get with HPLIP which supports this printer explicitly since version 1.2
When used with HP's HPLIP driver, this printer auto-detects the paper type and does appropriate dithering and colour adjustment internally, controlled by the hardware. So even when Ghostscript with the HPLIP 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 its highest 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 is supported with the HPLIP driver.
For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status, maintenance features, and photo card unload use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).
