Comments

It seems that this printer is a Japan only model. Similar to 950C, 957C...

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).

The best output one gets with HP's HPIJS 1.3 or newer. If you cannot update to HPIJS 1.3 for some reason, you can also use HPIJS 1.2.2 with the patches from Matthias Bunte and Richard Spencer-Smith ("hpijs-rss"). The Gimp-Print driver also works (Model setting: "pcl-900"), but only up to 600 dpi.

Older comments:

It works with "cdj550", "cdj670" and "cdj880" drivers supported by printtool.

No problem with Japanese language printing with Kondara MNU/Linux.

I think "cdj880" is better, but picture (color) quality is not good...

B/W quality is good for normal printing job.

Yes, I don't recommend using this printer for color photo printing.
