Re: HP DeskJets
I would also look at installing the gs-aladdin package from the non-free
part of Debian. It has a special HP Deskjet driver compiled into it.
You can specify lots of features such as print quality, color mode,
paper type, etc. See the gs-hpdj man page once it is installed. You
then will have to modify your print filter(use magicfilter as others
have suggested) to specify the options you want.
