Recommended Driver: hplip (Home page)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Comments

For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

600 dpi in colour is not supported by the hardware.

A printhead alignment tool called "powercolor" is available in metalab's system/printing.

Older user comments:

See the driver's home page (the "cdj670" link) for documentation and limitations.

Color photos (with the "cdj670" driver) aren't as good as from the Windows driver.

Consumables/Refills: dual cartridges
