HPLIP

Blue output of CP2025

Asked by henri

I often print maps. Areas which are gray on the screen are blue on the printout. I have tried it with OpenOffice and Acroread with the same result. How can i calibrate the printer to get the same colors as i have on the screen?
My PC runs Kubuntu 9.04 with hplib 3.9.2

It doesn't look like any alignment tools are supported for this device.

Does the printer print correctly on windows?

Also, please run hp-check -t and post the output.

Thanks.

Hi Aaron

Thanks for your response and your questions.
Does the printer print correctly with windows? Hmm. I run one Windows XP in a VirtualBox environment. There the printer only prints error messages, dependent on if i use PCL5, PCL6 or Postscript. A other Windows XP runs in a Parallels environment on my Mac laptop. The output there is better than from Linux, but also there things are printed slightly blue, which are gray on the screen.

Cheers
Henri

If this problem is happening in a windows environment as well it sounds like a possible hardware issue. Please contact HP Total Care from http://www.hp.com for additional assistance.
