    For basic printing functionality use the &lt;a 
    href=&quot;http://hplip.sf.net/&quot;&gt;HPIJS 
    driver &lt;/a&gt;. For advanced functionality such
    as printer status and maintenance features, use the
    &lt;a href=&quot;http://hplip.sf.net/&quot;&gt;
    HPLIP driver&lt;/a&gt; (which includes HPIJS). &lt;p&gt;
    
    Ed: HP provides the &lt;a
    href=&quot;show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs&quot;&gt;&quot;hpijs&quot;
    driver&lt;/a&gt;, which drives this printer perfectly for
    colour/photo jobs. See that driver entry for more information. For
    grayscale probably Gimp-Print is the best choice.&lt;p&gt;

    As for use with other drivers: &lt;p&gt;

    This is the same printer as the DeskJet 840C; see &lt;a
    href=&quot;show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_840C&quot;&gt;that
    entry&lt;/a&gt; for more info.  HP&apos;s web site lists the same
    software documentation for the 810, 830, and 840 series printers,
    so any drivers that work with one will probably work with the
    others as well.&lt;p&gt;

    The black print resolutions are 300x300, 600x300, and 600x600.
    The color print resolution is 300x300 normally, but can
    theoretically go up to 600x1200 via &quot;PhotoREt II&quot; (C-REt
    II).&lt;p&gt;

    This printer does not work with the &quot;cdj850&quot; driver, but
    it works with the &quot;cdj880&quot; driver.
