actually, its a typo, it is SuSE 7.1. Which doesn't make it any
better.

to be sure, I switched to 6.51 (tested by HP), which did not help, BUT:

I guess, you're right because I checked

(The driver interface, using hpijs 1.0 in compatibility mode)

Now it works all right, although it cost me some time to adjust
the makefiles of ghostscript.

And now: This printer is awesome! Had an Epson stylus 740
before, and even in 300x300 the HP prints better than the
Epson in 720x720. And the photo mode is just
incredible.

Thanks for the help
