CP1515n and HPLIP don't use black cartige

Hello,
I'm using the CP1515n as anetwork printer for Windows and Linux systems manly for printing documents (PDF, Word OpenOffice).
While printing from Windows works fine under Linux when printing in color mode I can't get the printer to use the black cartridge for text.
Not that this uses uneccesary much toner it also leads to ppor apereance since if you look a little closer you can see some coloured pixel around.
Is the anything I can do about that? Under Windows the driver has an option named "always print text with black" which I'm missing under linux, on the web interface I can't find an option to set this manually either.
I even tried the latest HPLIP this just leads to complete failing of color printing so I switched back to the "official" debain version.

Maybe remove your matrox tools and drivers and hardware and try again. I removed my Matrox MX02 and my system is fast and stable and with the BM. I think a PC is just as good as any Mac and I am sure is faster if you have the correct hardware and is setup correctly. I visited a editor who edits on a Mac Pro FCP for TV shows and realized that mac is not what everybody rants and raves about the time it took him to complete what he was doing, I could have done it much quicker. I do agree Mac's are good for certain applications but so they should be at the price they sell for. IMO bang for buck nothing can come close to PC and CS5.
I would get in touch with one of the PC Builders on this site and Ask for help as I believe there is nothing wrong with Adobe CS5 and the PC format.

    why is my iPad showing that I have 94 pictures and 3 videos when my camera app shows zero? How do I locate the items the settings is indicating I have on the device? I have never sinced, I don't have any iTunes, and I don't use icloud.....

    Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

    I want to clean up my icloud account but I can not delete my mail storage and I don't using icould for my mails so there's nothing in the trash.

  • My old email comes up when I want to update my apps.and I know that email is old and I don't use it.however I don't have a password for it so am unable to update.how can I delete it? And have my current email for that

    My old email come up when I want to update my apps.however I don't use that password at all,I've even had a message saying its not in use. I can't update them though which is really annoying! I've tried setting up that email again and change password but doesn't work at all.does anyone know how I can get rid of and use my current email?

    Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now!  Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
    Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
    Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
    PS you`ll need to again verify bank details

    Darbyh77490,
    If you have a laptop or desktop computer download the latest version of iTunes to it. Connect your phone to computer w/ USB cable. Backup phone to iTunes then restore backup to new phone..,, here is how.

  • Why is photo black and color draining when using black only?

    I am printing in fast draft, black only, why is my photo black being used?
    Am I wrong thinking photo black is just for the photo tray?
    Also my colors seem to be used as well.

    Hi,
    Color inks will drain slowly even we use black only because from time to time the printer needs to clean the print head(s) specially during warming up process.
    Regards,
    BH

  • Don't use Black Magic or Matrox MXO2

    To all professional users at broadcast stations:  Do not use video interfaces by Black Magic Design (see this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640669#3640669)  Also do not use the Matrox MXO2.  These cards are not working with CS5. Your PC will become highly unstable.  Do not expect your dealer, Adobe or Matrox to solve your problem. You'll end up in a neverending loop when trying to get help.   At best these companies will try standard procedures with small steps that just won't make any difference. They will not follow up on your case and do close the case after two days.  We have tried to hire engineers to fix our systems but that request was denied.  For editing, try stick with Avid if possible, never mind how little options it has; it works.  For compositing with AE, use a Mac.  Dvd authoring is also best done with Mac only software; Encore is not a professional solution. I forgot the app name.  Thanks for reading.

  • I have the wrong apple ID associated with my computer, how do I update it so it's my more recent apple ID? The apple ID associated with my computer is old and I don't use it.

    So I first got my computer in highschool, and I used my highschool school email at the time to make my apple ID, but since then I created a new apple ID that's associated with my phone and credit card and practically everything else besides my computer. How do I change it on my laptop so that everything is cohesive in terms of my iCloud?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    If you have used your old ID to purchase content from iTunes or the App store, you may want to continue to use this ID for iTunes only to avoid losing your content.

  • Does Firefox use Internet Explorer in any way? When I go to CCleaner to delete history, there are always IE files as well as Firefox, my default browser and I don't use IE. It doesn't make sense to me, but then, I don't know much.

    I don't know what I can add... thanks for any help.

    Firefox itself does not use the IE temporary internet files location, but some plugins will save data to the same place as IE.

  • Firefox has prevented an outdated plugin 'adobe flash' from running. This didn't start until the latest Firefox release, and I don't use M$Winblows. Linux only

    I just started started seeing this after the latest firefox release. I see it on M$Winblows at work, Linux and Mac at home, so it isn't activex related for me. I can't upgrade Flash for Linux since Adobe stopped supporting it, but I haven't had any issues up until the last week. And as far as Mac and Windows, they are up to date in patches. Once again engineers just love to make things better. If there was a better alternitive to Firefox I'd use it.

    The outdated Flash plugins is not due to any Firefox version or updates but due to a blocklist of vulnerable Flash plugins made on Dec 11/12. The Firefox 31.3.0esr and 34 were released on December 1st and the updated Flash came out on Dec 9.
    For Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and 15.0.0.24'''6''' are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.
    For Linux the Flash 11.2.202.42'''5''' is not vulnerable according to Adobe and is not on blocklist while 11.2.202.42'''4''' and older is. Adobe is still supporting the Flash 11.2 with security fixes.
    Get choice of 16.0.0.235 or 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR for Windows/Mac and the 11.2.202.42'''5''' for Linux at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • Calendar keeps reverting to server and I don't use exchange. Any ideas???

    This started yesterday as I was trying to delete an even from my calendar. I get a box that there's an error and I can "revert to server." I have seen people with issues involving exchange, but I am simply using my iCloud account. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve deleting and redoing my entire calendar?

    Hi Kate ..
    it wouldn't let me without verifying it with the old email that I can't check.

  • ExtendedService and FileOpenService don't use same default path.

    I have an application (unsigned) that saves progress to a file chosen by the user using the FileSaveService.
    I store this location (specifically location.getName()) using the PreferencesService so that the most recently saved file can offered at startup of the next session.
    I therefore have to use the ExtendedService to open the file on next startup.
    During testing I am launching my application at the command line using javaws <jnlp>, rather than deploying to a webserver, which could be what's exposing this problem:
    The FileOpenService seems to return a FileContents whose 'name' is relative to the 'home.dir'.
    The ExtendedService.openFile() call seems to look for files relative to some other location, probably the working directory of my IDE, or of the .jnlp file.
    So, when I try to openFile() passing the FileContents.getName() stored earlier it fails to find the file.
    JNLP won't give me access to System.getProperty("user.home") so I can't hint this to openFile().
    Has anyone experienced this problem? Can anyone suggest a way around it?

    The security group has prevented up from exposing the
    system property "java.home" to an untrusted application
    or applet, but perhaps we could solve this problem by
    setting the System Property "java.dir" to the value in "java.home".That sounds good, but while you are thinking
    of such things, I will add that I would like to
    see an option to 'suggest' to the file chooser
    to use paths according to system properties..
    e.g. in addition to..
    FileOpenService.
      openFileDialog(pathHint, extensions) ..add a new overloaded method..
    FileOpenService.
      openFileDialog(pathHint, extensions, boolean pathIsProperty) ..to suggest a new use like..
    fos.openFileDialog("user.home", xtns, true);The intent being that the web-start client inserts
    the correct path for user.home, without ever
    exposing it to the original application.
    Is this doable?

  • I don't use facebook firefox and am suddenly been bombarded with Firefox boxes asking me what to do with downloads all concerning facebook

    Hi there
    Since switching my computer on a short time ago, I have repeatedly been receiving those boxes where Firefox asks me what I wish to do with this download as in what I wish to open it with? They are all to do with Facebook, and I don't use Facebook,don't have or want a Facebook account. The box says:
    Opening Like.php
    You have chosen to open
    like.php
    which is a Plain Text (-1bytes)
    from:http://www.facebook.com
    what should Firefox do with this file?.
    Open with TextEdit(default)
    Save with
    Do this automatically
    Cancel OK
    Also when cancelling the box another one or two of the same boxes appear. It's extremely concerning and I'm currently running MacScan and iAntivirus to see if I have a problem on my Mac. I'm using Firefox 8.0.1 and Mac Snow leopard.
    To answer the first question below, "this Happened" it's just started to happen today and has been about 7/8 times so far, but the menu doesn't allow for that answer.
    Thanks
