Hi again,

the upgrade to HPLip2.7.7 didn't make any differnce,

this time I print directly to the JetDirect port on the printer. I've selected the Adobe PS PPD file when installing to HPLip - this is the exact same PPD file I use in Gimp/Gutenprint,

The Gimp is printing with the same speed using the 2.7.7 drivers (that is around 30 seconds),

I sure hope one of this group has an idea of where to look now,

Regards,
Martin

> A reasonable would be an option to the digikam/printwizard dialog to set a custom resolution. 


Resolution (by now) is useless in printwizard, dpi are not used yet...

Krinter interface as far as i understood cannot make much for customizing resolution, and always if i understood correctly driver settings override them. I haven't find a way yet to get "non standard"
info from kprinter, I mean ppd files and drivers can give more options like photo paper quality, paper resolution, bordless printing. They are all present in kprinter dialog box, but i haven't found a standard way to get them, think of page layout for instance, A4 is A4 for any printers, photo paper (15x10 cm for instance) is not...
QT and KDE should "standardize" that first I believe, and disable if not given by drivers.... imo of course.
