I have an HP680C and used apsfilter to set it up with the cdj670 driver
that is included in the apsfilter setup drivers list. I then tested it
with the default page and that was fine. So I then created a full color
image in gimp and saved as .bmp, .jpg, .tif, and .png, and they all
printed in full color. I also printed a web page, in full color.
You might give the cdj670 driver a try. Oh, and I left it at the default
color depth, I tried the others but the test page was printing too
small, the default setting printed it full page size.
