Re: no color when printing to HP1220C

[Andreas Klemm <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

please read the hpdj manual page ....
hpdj driver defaults to b&w printing.

in apsfilter-current you can enter the following class options to
print in color:

lpr -C high:cmyk

You might need to increase the print quality to "normal" or even "high"
otherwise hpdj driver might refuse to print in color ....
