My take on HP printing with HPLIP, is that TurboPrint is still a better
option. I used HP printers for many years and the problem of obtaining
'valid' paper profiles still needs to be overcome for a linux system.
Much easier to use TP with its direct support in dt.
I have standardized on one paper for my print needs; I had that paper
profiled by the TP people and the result is all that I need. Anything
else is a constant struggle.

they provide their own proprietary drivers and printer control for

Nothing is impossible. Solutions:
- make you own profile
- ask a pro to do the profile for you
- use TurboPrint, high quality and properly supported by dt

No, each driver use it's own algorithm to transform a RGB picture to a
print using 6, 8, 12 different color on your printer. The driver is a
software and the transformation done here is different on all OS.
That's why you have today ICC provided for MacOS and Windows.

The easiest solution is TurboPrint. I'm using it and I have
implemented
the support in dt for a good reason :)
