How do I calibrate my HP CP1518ni printer thru linux, HP basically says get windows. CUPS-Calibrate will do the color but not the alignment which is the problem. appears the "Blue" is out of alignment with the other colors. I have done a diagnostics and it confirms it needs calibration. have been using this printer with several flavors of linux for a couple years and it has been rock solid until now and it went out between two prints, I was doing 4 and 1&2 were fine 3&4 were out. currently running Kubuntu 12.4 but have been since it was release. help is expensive paper weight thanks Bob |

actually an olde tech gave me the answer that worked. he told me to run the "Calibrate now" command from the printer itself at least 4-5 times in a row one right after the other finished. seemed strange but what do I have to lose. and derned if it didn't work. already had all of the software installed so that wasn't it. thanks Bob |

Oops, guess I didn't read your original post carefully enough. I didn’t' see you were trying to align the cartridges. Yes, that can be done via the menu on the printer. There is also the terminal command "hp-align" but that only applies to certain printer models, not including my own Officejet Pro 8600 Depending on your printer model, "align cartridges" may or may not be available in HPLIP. |
