Hello,
Since I installed TurboPrint 2, I noticed that my "color" black cartridge is emptied often than the bigger one.
My question is: how can I setup TP2 to use less of my small back cartridge even if I print in color?
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Printer : Canon MP540
TP2 version : 2.26-2
Thanks in advance for the answer
Best regards
TP2 and dual black management

Hello,
The Canon MP540 printer (and most other Canon printers that have both "pigment black" and "foto black") use only one of the black inks at a time dependend on the media setting:
plain paper -> larger cartridge with pigmented black (PGI...)
other paper -> smaller cartdridge with foto black (CLI...)
This is defined by printer firmware - the driver can only set the media type.
