Bug Description
When printing a photo via Linux, the colors are very very dark compared to the original image. Looks like the brightness/darkness of the image was darken to almost total darkness. If I print the same image (same file) using the printer menus, it just works and prints the colors correctly.
Here's the output of hp-check:
