Created attachment 549065 [details] PPD for HP DeskJet 895Cxi Description of problem: There are no options to control the printout mode/resolution/colour etc. in the Image Quality tab --- or any other tab --- for my two hpijs-driven printers, an HP DeskJet 895Cxi, and an HP Deskjet F2280. There used to be some under Fedora 15. I've attached the relevant PPDs below. Both printers are accessed over the network via IPP, connected to a remote machine running CUPS 1.4.4. Note: I am using hpijs rather than hpcups because it produces better image quality on the Deskjet F2280 (bug 581656), and "Normal Grayscale" mode fails with it on the DeskJet 895Cxi (bug 744338), so switching over is not an acceptable option at the moment. (There are options present for the hpcups- and gdi-based printers.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hplip-3.11.10-11.fc16.x86_64 hpijs-3.11.10-11.fc16.x86_64 cups-1.5.0-22.fc16.x86_64

OK, I've played with the PPDs and I think I have a fix: it's to replace "*PrintoutMode" -> "*OutputMode" "*Quality" -> "*Resolution" and similarly for the *Defaults; that is, doing sed 's/\*PrintoutMode/\*OutputMode/g ; s/\*Quality/\*Resolution/g s/\*DefaultPrintoutMode/\*OutputMode/g ; s/\*DefaultQuality/\*DefaultResolution/g' < old-ppd.ppd > new-ppd.ppd Seems to work for the F2280.
Which application are you printing from? I don't think this change should be necessary.
Things like Evince, Gedit, Evolution. Could it be that the Gnome print subsystem not handling PPDs correctly? (Don't have any KDE stuff installed for comparison at the moment.)
Fixing component, more investigation required.
Now under Fedora 17 (hpijs-3.12.4-2.fc17.x86_64), the Gnome print dialogue has an "Advanced" tab with the print mode and quality options for both the printers mentioned above.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Closing per previous comment, thanks James.
