Title:
  Lexmark Optra E does not print greyscale with hpijs driver

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
  Confirmed
Status in foomatic-db package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Lexmark/Lexmark-Optra_E

  On an up-to-date lucid system, the Lexmark Optra E laser printer does
  not print greyscale with the recommended hpijs-pcl5e driver.  I also
  tried the latest version from above URL and the result is still the
  same.  The gutenprint driver does support greyscale but does not
  correctly work with tray selection when an external paper cassette is
  used.
