The best printout quality you will get with the HPLIP
driver, provided by <a
href="http://hplipopensource.com/">HP</a>
(compatible to the HP DeskJet 990C), especially the 1200-dpi high
resolution mode gives excellent photo quality (the rendered bitmap
is 1200x1200 dpi, but the printer hardware does an interpolation
then and prints with the printer's highest resolution). Also
the Gimp-Print driver is reported to work (Model setting:
"pcl-900").<p>
To get all functionality of this printer working under Linux,
especially also the non-printing features, like scanning, printer
status, maintenance, and photo download from memory cards, use the
<a href="show_driver.cgi?driver=hplip">HPLIP
driver package from HP</a>.<p>
When used with HP's HPLIP driver, this printer
auto-detects the paper type and ink cartridge type and does
appropriate dithering and colour adjustment internally, controlled
by the hardware. So when Ghostscript with the HPLIP
driver only renders the image with 300 or 600 dpi, higher
resolutions are used for the internal dithering. So if you insert
photo paper, the printer will print in photo 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 and interpolated to 4800x1200 dpi by the hardware, without
paper detection, intended for photo paper only.<p>
Current border-less (full bleed) support is 3-sided for paper sizes
Oufuku-Hagaki or smaller. The HPIJS team is currently evaluating
4-sided large paper size (A4/Letter) or smaller full bleed support
and expect to address this issue in a future release.
The duplex unit does not work with Gimp-Print, use
HPLIP, "cdj970" or "pcl3" instead.<p>
Consumables/Refills: One Color(CMY) + one Black(K) or Photo (cmK)<p>
