After I installed the latest PPD file for the printer I still see only
the following options in printer settings:
Normal Color
Normal Grayscale
Draft Color
Draft Grayscale
High Resolution Photo
I see nothing about the printer settings to suggest that this latest PPD
is different from the earlier driver. :-(
Should I try printing a test document to see if both B&W and color
cartridge are used to print multi-color documents with black text? (I'm
not too hopeful :-(
