I am stillhaving this issue with my HP Deskjet D2360. For the hpijs PPD the problem is that the default "Quality" setting for Color PrintoutModes is CMY instead of CMYK. I am really pissed that this issue still hasn't been addressed. Is anyone even working on this? I'm trying to patch it on OpenSuse but I can get my head around the way things work as far as generating PPDs. I could just change this for my printer model but that won't help many people. I can't understand the hpcups version of the PPD, it's practically written in a different language. Why does each printer have two PPDs? Shouldn't we just have ONE that's not broken instead of two for each printer? I submitted bug 707082 about this issue and it's been COMPLETELEY IGNORED. This is a huge bug, why is no one fixing this?

The offending lines in (hp-deskjet_d2300_series-hpijs.ppd) look like this:

*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Draft: "Quality=300DraftColorCM&&
Y"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Draft.Gray: "Quality=300DraftGr&&
ayscaleK"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Normal: "Quality=300ColorCMY"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Normal.Gray: "Quality=300Graysc&&
aleK"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=High: "Quality=600ColorCMY"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=High.Gray: "Quality=600Grayscal&&
eK"

When they ought to look like this

*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Draft: "Quality=300DraftColorCM&&
YK"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Draft.Gray: "Quality=300DraftGr&&
ayscaleK"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Normal: "Quality=300ColorCMYK"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=Normal.Gray: "Quality=300Graysc&&
aleK"
*End
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=High: "Quality=600ColorCMYK"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting PrintoutMode=High.Gray: "Quality=600Grayscal&&
eK"
