[Hplip-help] HPLIP driver for HP 2200d

[Eitan <ei...@sb...>]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I had been using the HPLIP driver for the HP 2200d printer that came
with HPLIP 1.6.10 in my Debian 4.0 linux distribution. That driver only
provides for 150dpi, 300dpi, and 600dpi printing, but it does not allow
the 1200dpi printing of which the 2200d is capable. After visiting
linuxprinting.org, and modifying a recommended postscript based .ppd
file available there, I was able to make a .ppd file that allows the
2200d to print in 1200dpi as well as give an option to autoselect the
paper tray.

I strongly believe this modified postscript type .ppd file should be
included as the default driver in HPLIP instead of what is currently
offered. I spent may hours of frustration to finally get all of the
features of the 2200d to work properly under linux.

I am attaching the working .ppd file to this email. Can you please make
sure that someone involved in maintaining HPLIP drivers gets it so that
they can possibly include it in the next HPLIP release?

Thank You,

Eitan
