Yes, I've seen that before. For me, that's what happens if I ask the 932C
to print in less than Photo mode... darks come out very red while lighter
colors seem to be fine. That's why the script explicitly sets the quality
when printing to the 932C vs the 1120C.

I don't know what the capabilities of hpijs 1.0.4 are, but it's VERY dated.
The 1.5 version should be easy enough to build, if you feel the need. You
can probably build both of them from source on a Woody box... hpijs only
deps on debhelper, and gs itself isn't much more extensive. *Other* things
dep on gs, though, so make sure you know what you're doing if you're going
to build that.

Press and hold the Page Eject while the printer is turned on. Let go after
it loads a page.
