Comment 60 for bug 235399

Now, after so long time that HP did not come up with a solution, I have prepared a patch now to add all missing two-cartridge modes to the PPD files of hpcups, make the normal color mode for two cartridges (black and color) the default, and to let the chjoices of the "Printout Mode" option of the HPIJS PPDs point to two-cartridge mode. Using these printers with only the color cartridge got rare. I do not know whether there are still models sold this way and probably owners of a printer which came with only one cartridge quickly bought a black cartridge. Therefore I am assuming now that the printers of the users are equipped with two cartridges but the user can always also choose a one-cartridge mode if needed.

But note: There can be modes which do not work on your particular printer. Some printers for example do not support photo cartridges, others have simply the photo mode not working but the rest works perfectly. Please try. Independent of this all printers should now work with the default setting if a black and a color cartridge are installed.

The fix will be applied to the next Maverick package.
