SuSE 9.3 Printing - Trouble with HP Colour LaserJet 2600n
I'm looking for any option under SuSE 9.3 that will print at all to a HP CL2600n. At this stage I don't even care about colour. Just black would be nice. I've tried the LaserJet 4 & 5 , Colour LJ 2500 & 2550 drivers going through HPJetDirect and LPD (raw and text queues) to no avail at all. I've checked linuxprinting.org and unfortunately it doesn't mention that model at all. Any help would really be appriciated. Cheers, SteveC

Hmm. In the specs at: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF06a/5043-5047-5051-5051-5063-12096... one line stands out: Standard Printer Languages Host-based If I interpret that rightly, it means this printer is probably a 'paperweight' as far as Linux goes. Host-based printing means that the intelligence is in the driver software on the host PC and the same specs mention that it is available on various flavours of Windows and OSX. You should be looking for a printer that says 'PostScript' or PCL5 or somesuch, and is preferably listed in the linuxprinting database with three penguins. Hope I'm wrong but trying to exchange it seems like the best option. Dave

Have a look at Redmon (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/redmon/). I used this for a HP3500 laserprinter to print PCL5-based text. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
