how to use HP photo cartridges?

I have the hp f380 that uses the hp22 colour cartridge, hp21 black cartridge & the hp58 photo cartridge which physically takes the place of the hp21.

 

In the 'printout mode' options, I can choose colour or black & white draft, normal & high(6 combinations), with the 7th option being photo on photo paper.

 

In the resolution options I get: 300 & 600 dpi: colour, black & white, photo. The other option is 'controlled by the printout mode'.

 

I can't use the hp58 on its own.

 

In the 'printout mode' I set it to 'photo on photo paper' of course. In the resolution options I've tried 'controlled by the printout mode', as well as all the different photo options. I also tried high quality black in the 'printout mode' option to fool Mandriva into using the hp58 as an hp21.

 

I can use either the hp21 or 22 but not both - I'd like to use both.

According to the HP literature on their site, you would use the photo cartridge with the tri-color cartridge for high quality photo printing. The photo cartridge is not used by itself.
