Switching between text and graphics
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:11 am
I have TP installed and working on most graphics/photo printing apps. Prints very high quality photos. Problems I posted previously were all due to issues in the apps.
Now, what is supposed to happen when I want to print black and white or greyscale text. Still prints very slowly like in high quality mode. If I go into TP config and change quality it prints somewhat faster but I still have the feeling it is not using the black ink cartridge. I know this is not windows, but in windows it is automatic.
Using Open office Writer or Calc for example, I don't see any way to change the settings from the program. Do I always have to go back to TP config.
I also tried setting up another printer definition using a generic driver (Gutenprint) in linux. It seems to print text OK but I expect I will run into problems. And at least in OO, if I select that printer rather that the default (tp0), it does not keep that selection for the next time I open the program.
