The office jet at home worked OK once I rebuilt the Fedora HPLIP RPMs for CentOS, but HP's Mac drivers were flaky, and were never updated for news OSX releases.

It's an HP LJ P4515, and it works well now that it is setup. To find the Linux driver, I went from the printer's web page to the HP support site to the HPLIP site. The first time, my browser crashed. The second time, I didn't see anything obvious to download. Then I gave up and hacked the Mac PPD. Now, in hindsight, I see that hplip-3.10.6.tar.gz has a suitable PPD. I found the process much more difficult than it should be. Jim ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I found the process much more difficult than it should be. I have been very disappointed in HP's support for older hardware (for some loose definition of older). After a hard drive crash required reinstalling the HP drivers for an old ScanJet, the drivers were no longer available from HP. I replaced that scanner with a new ScanJet 5590 early in 2009, but couldn't use it on my new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard until the 2nd quarter of 2010 as HP didn't have drivers for it until then (their web site said they would be available in September when I first started looking in August). That said, we generally use single-function HP network printers that support PCL5 and PostScript as these Just Work(tm) without anything fancy. My main printer here is an HP 4M Plus with duplex that I bought new in November 1995. It just keeps on printing, although I did spend about $200 last year to have it serviced and new rollers installed.

Virtually any of the HP's with Postscript work fine, as long as you have or can get a .ppd for it and it's real Postscript. I have an old Color LaserJet 8550DN that works like a champ. Supplies are steep, but this is an 11x17 printer. For monochrome duplex I'm still using an HP LJ 8000 with duplexer, and the 8150 with duplexer works well, too. If you print enough monochrome, you'll find that the 8K or 8150 are less expensive than the 8550 printing black. All three are 11x17 capable. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
