    Hi,

    Just to say that this network printer is working nicely with MorphOS and Geit's netprinter.device.

    I had no trouble to configure & print some text. :)

    As this printer is postscript, I should have no problem printing PDF & other documents.

    Still, I didn't managed (even tried) to print such document, just plain text.

    Any advices about this matter are welcome.

    Hi, these HP printers work very very well, not pbl at all! I use the CP 6015, the CP 3525 and the CP 4525 as well as the LJ 9050. They are all PS3 printers and work fine with netprinter.device from Geit :-) What I did is I setup in DOSDrivers several different PAR's (e. g. PAR1, PAR2, etc.)

    Here is what is in PAR3:

    StackSize = 4096
    Priority = 5
    GlobVec = -1
    Handler = MOSSYS:L/port-handler
    Startup = "DEVICE=netprinter.device UNIT=3 TYPE=parallel"
    #

    In netprinter.device settings I give each printer a unique IP, e.g. 192.168.1.240, direct protocol and port 9100

    Then when you open in APDF an pdf file (try the test.pdf in APDF's directory) and go to Print... you just enter in the file string e.g. Par3:, leave Mode as Postsript (level2) and then hit Save and yopur pdf should print, at least here it does ;-)

    Hope this helps.
