According to http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_5850,
HP's HPIJS driver gives "excellent" photo quality with HP printers. 
One reviewer says that the quality at high resolution isn't quite as
good as Windows, but it isn't clear whether that means high-resolution
"normal" mode, or photo mode, or both.
