Printing quality with Laserjet 4200

wonghoonguan · 04-12-2007, 08:48 PM

Dear Linux support,

I am having printing quality issue with my HP Laserjet 4200 printer. The print out is very light and have loose toner effect. I am using the HP Laserjet 4200 driver. Command use to print is LPR.

lpr -P<printer name> <document name> -o page-left=36 -o page-right=36 -o page-top=51 -o page-bottom=-18 -o cpi=13.7 -o lpi=7 -o PrintQuality:Normal

My Question.
1. Is there anyway i can control the printing quality through the LPR command
2. Is my cpi and lpi setting will cause this problem.

Please help me on this as i already try so many ways to improve the printing quality.

Regards
