HP DeskJet 5550 max resolution 600 dpi instead of 1200 with CUPS 1.3.9 hplip 2.8.10 foomatic 3.0
Hello,
I use Slackware 12.1 with most upgrades to current:
CUPS 1.3.9, HPLIP 2.8.10 and foomatic-filters 3.0.
On http://
I have even downloaded the PPD file http://
but I am not sure if I can use it, because from what its preamble says, I suppose it may need
foomatic-filters 4.0.0.0, which uses PDF instead of postscript as proxy format.
Main question is: how to get higher resolution?
Has anyone tested the quoted PPD file with foomatic 3.0?
Does it run OK? Or, should I wait, until Sackware gets the new foomatic 4?
Thanks for any feedback.
Greetings, pand

I just tested a DeskJet 5550 with HPLIP 2.8.12 and it's printing at 1200dpi.
Please run hp-check -t and post the output.
Thanks.

Hi! Thankx for answering. I previously could not run hp-check from the KDE menu.
(1)
Following is the output of "hp-check -t", however not from the hp-check.log, which was empty, but just from what was output onto the screen.
=== bash: hp-check -t output =======

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling
the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper
dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

I have no idea, if it is relevant, but Gslapt package manager reports following:

The PPD file currently used by CUPS, generated by CUPS, when I have used it to add and configure the printer.
