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. -- Chip Wiegand Alternative Operating Systems www.wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
