Print Quality with Xerox 6110 Printer

[Dainton]

I logged this under question #121248. See the text of the question below.

"
I am running a Networked Xerox 6110 in Ubuntu 10.04 through CUPS (1.4.3.-1ubuntu1.2) . The print quality was very poor compared to printing in Window Vista. I followed the instruction at this site http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/ which improved the print quality somewhat but still not up to Windows standard.

I recently ran a Windows program through WINE 1.1.42-0ubuntu4 and printed out using this. The print quality was very good and appeared to be much better than in Ubuntu through CUPS.

"

Is there anyway to bring up the print quality to windows standard?

Can you also try to use your printer with the SpliX driver? Perhaps this driver gives better quality.

If you use the printer with drivers of foo2... series (foo2zjs package) run the command

sudo getweb 6110

in a terminal window to download the printer's color profiles. This often improves the print quality, too.
