NEW 2660 will not work with blk cartrige only.

[Chris]

I have Ubuntu 9.10 trying to install a new hp 2660 it installs fine without hlip but when u change to fast draft black only it fails.
Seems they want to sell color cartriges ? I have tried hlip and the result is the same????????????????

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

I have the same problem with the D2660 on Ubuntu 9.10.
This one seems to be the same as bug 487782.
