I got rid of this message on startup by using ...

*xp-ddx-identifier: XP-PCL-COLOR

instead of ...

*xp-ddx-identifier: XP-PCL-MONO

in HPLJ4050-PCL5/model-config

But I still get this even though I have this...

HPLJ4050-PCL5.default-printer-resolution: 600

... in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/C/print/attributes/document

Printing to the PS version of this printer works fine.
