Re: ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

My issue was that my photo black cartridge ran out, the small one, and the pigment black was pretty much 99% full and I've only been printing PDFs on plain paper. So how do you account for the photo black running out when none of the other colours have and the pigment black was 99% full? I know a sm...

Re: ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

Having just managed to get a pdf printed on plain paper using pigmented ink I had to set grey scale, why does this have to be done to get the pigmented ink used? I'd expect it to use pigmented ink along side the colour inks when set to 300dpi and plain paper and colour mode it is plain paper after a...

Re: ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

Can you please explain why when using plain paper the photo black was used up and the pigmented black has hardly been used despite the usage displayed on my screenshot.

Re: ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

I just wanted to confirm that the cartridge which has run out and had to be replaced was the small photo black. The pigmented black is showing full.

Re: ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

OK well on the TP Control display I have plain paper set as the default but when I look at the Ink Counters it shows as the Pigmented Black being used but in fact it is using the photo black. It is like TP has it the wrong way round. See image attached.

ip7250 always seems to use the small black cartridge

I am finding that when I print PDFs or just text from an editor my ip7250 using TurboPrint always uses the small cartridge for the black and never seems to use the larger black cartridge. I was under the impression that documents printed in black text should print with this larger cartridge. Is ther...

Re: Which drivers for Dell 2150cdn & HP OfficeJet Pro 7730 (Linux)

I don't have that printer but looking for it on my Turboprint Control and clicking on Add once the connection is set up it shows the available printers to select from and if you select HP it does show your printer. So I'm not sure what you mean.

Re: Cannot print to Canon Selphy CP1300

Thought I'd bring this up again since I now have a CP1300. I must point out that Gutenprint supports this printer in Linux either driverless or as an IPP printer (both wirelessly) so why cant Turboprint support it?

Re: Not Able To Set Borderless Option For Custom Paper Size

Well I have attached a screenshot from my system. One obvious question - does your printer support borderless printing?

Re: Not Able To Set Borderless Option For Custom Paper Size

I just tried this and found that I have to add a new paper size before all the options will appear, it seems like you cannot modify an existing size. Try Add at the bottom left of the screen and define a new one, I was able to do this and add borderless.

Re: Cannot print to Canon Selphy CP1300

The entire point of having these printers is to be able to print wirelessly, which works fine using Canon apps on a phone. I have (somewhere) some code which allows printing wirelessly from linux to my CP900, whether it would work with a CP1300 I don't know. I seriously think the wireless capability...

Canon Selphy printers

Since pretty much all the recent Selphy printers have a wireless capability are there any plans to provide wireless connectivity to Turboprint for them?

Re: PNG, JPEG not printing using Turboprint

I am intrigued that you can reproduce this error. I use Tumbleweed and have just printed a jpeg image perfectly using Turboprint from Gwenview. My system is fully updated and I'm using Gwenview 18.12 with ghostscript 9.26-1.1 and TP 2.47-1.
