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).
To get its maximum quality, use the HPLIP driver, since HPIJS 1.2 there is explicit support for this printer. 600 dpi in colour is not supported by the hardware.
David Suffield, developer of HPIJS at HP, said about the HPIJS 1.1 driver:
HPLIP (set up as for the DeskJet 600 series) works for the Deskjet 850 series, much better than Gimp-Print, but color was not as good as with "cdj850". Some people may prefer "cdj850" for color, others may prefer HPLIP for the speed.
The "cdj850" driver is included with Ghostscript as of Ghostscript version 6.0.
Printhead alignment is not supported.
A user told that he thinks there is a separate tool for alignment floating around, but unfortunately, we do not have any URL.
