wrong colours on HP F2200 after switching to 11.10

[Bouke Bunnik]

I have not heavily tested colour use on 11.04 though. For that reason, this could still be a manifestation of bug Bug #777670 (wrong colors on HPCLJ 3500/3600 printer after switching to 11.04), since my problem is manifesting in the same way, or so I thought.

I decided to file a new bug, because #777670 has a fix released, and I do already have the libjpeg6b version 6b1-1ubuntu2 that should contain the fix.

The colours appear washed out, but the main effect seems to be that yellow in not used, and everything else is too green. If I print with only the tri-colour cartridge, the blacks appear green, for example, and reds become muddy green to brown. The printer testpage comes out perfectly fine though.

I don't have much time to investigate this further today, but after that I should be able to, so hints as to what information to provide, or which things to try/check, would be very helpful. I will look at bug #777670 for things to try too (perhaps it is a similar issue?).

Your problem is most probably not bug 777670, as the HP Color LaserJet 35xx/36xx series get their jobs JPG-compressed in draft and normal quality. For the HP F2200 there is no JPG compression needed AFAIK.

Most probably this is a problem of HP's HPLIP driver. Adding upstream task ...

Can someone of the developers at HP have a look at this? Thanks.
