I'm not complaining, but I just wanted to note my budget. :) Maybe if I play around with the settings, I may get it right since when I use to use mandriva, it printed just fine for everything, but now I'm using kubuntu and I did notice when booting, it was loading a HP linux print and image system. But I now need to investigate into this more. Harold P.S. thanks for the info you gave me to help figure things out. -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users </or=150%></blockquote>I have run into a few problems with Ubuntu's implementationof HPILP, however those were mainly with C3100 multifunction printers,( I have filed a bug report on that) however I have not recently tried any printers of your vintage as mine of that vintage have long since worn out, the oldest printers I have now are 1100 (large format) and 800 series.(letter size) I now compile my own HPILP from source rather than fight with the repository version. This might be worth trying. HP gives complete instructions including the needed libraries and might be worthwhile even if you haven't compiled before. You might also try the gimprint driver for graphics printing. This might be an easier solution. Bryann
