Comments
Multi-function device: printer/scanner.
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 HPLIP driver package from HP.
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.
Works also with the cdj850 driver (recommended by the "hpoj" team before there was HPIJS support) and also with the cdj550 (and probably other) color deskjet drivers.
The "cdj850" driver is included with Ghostscript as of Ghostscript version 6.0.
Printhead alignment supported by the front panel menues.
