I've lived with this problem for a few months now but it really is starting to bother me. I set up my printer using apsfilter using the 'hpdj' driver. Now, this is a color printer, so I have, at times, specified different settings for the color option. I often leave it set to 'default', but I have tried several other options as well (8bpp, 24bpp, 32bpp). None of these seem to enable color printing though. So, what am I doing wrong? Has anyone else managed to get color printing to work on this printer (it's an HP 842C -- I actually got it because someone recommended it for FreeBSD). Am I using the wrong driver? The wrong filter? As always, your help is invaluable. I seriously don't know what I'd do without this list. Thank you, -- Dave PS: If you could cc my e-mail address (dloose at wpi dot edu) to your response, I would appreciate it greatly.
