Running Mint 18.1 Cinnamon and CUPS 2.1.3
I have an HP PhotoSmart 5510 printer scanner. It has been working fine for a while but today I want to print some photos from Image Viewer. In the printer dialogue I can select Image Quality as High-Resolution Photo but I then see a warning "Some of the settings in the dialogue conflict". Going through the other settings I see that it is Paper Type which causes the conflict, but the only options are "Plain Paper" or "Transparency Film". I assume that I need to select Photo Paper, but that option is not there.
How can I set it to print high quality photos?
I'm happy to use some other package to print if that helps.
Thanks
Mick

Re: HP 5510 Printer - Settings Conflict
Does choosing plain paper option give good results?

No, it prints and it is OK but noticeably darker than the display on screen.

Re: HP 5510 Printer - Settings Conflict
It's been a while since I opened this and I still have not resolved it.
I have also tried installing the HP driver software, a most frustrating experience. That does allow me to select photo paper, but then it fails with error code 1, "lpdr -P HP-Photosmart-5510-series -o page-set=all". I have just replaced all the cartridges with genuine HP ones, it all looks good but doesn't work.
Can anyone help with this please?

Just tried installing following that link. If I select print from an application, eg xviewer, it uses CUPS and allows me to select plain paper or slide transparency. They give very poor results on photo paper.
I can also open the HPLIP Toolbox, there I can select photo paper, but any attempt to print fails. I ran it from a terminal and this was the output
