Notes
It has ports on the side for inserting SmartMedia and CompactFlash 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. The printer also has an Ethernet port and will work on a small network without a dedicated print server. Printer status and maintenance can be handled through the built-in web interface, which also provides basic scanning features.
For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver.
For advanced functionality including printer status and maintenance, photo card unload and a SANE-compatible scanner driver, use the HPLIP driver. (Note that the HPLIP driver includes HPIJS, and all notes on HPIJS apply to HPLIP as well.)
Best output quality is reached with the HPIJS driver. Especially the 1200-dpi high resolution mode gives excellent photo quality.
When used with the HPIJS 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 HPIJS driver only renders the image with 300 or 600 dpi, the 2400x1200 dpi 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, without paper detection, intended for photo paper only.
