HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
Marca: Sufficiente I purchased a new (easily available in US) HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
and connected it with cat5 wire to an open port on the local switch.
The included printed manual has one section for Windows, and one for
Mac/Universal. Between them and some sheets taped onto the unit, there
is enough guidance to unpack and prepare the physical unit.
After the physical prep, plugging in the network wire and the power
cord, and powering up the unit, it spent a long time calibrating and
then configuring itself.
Now begins the work specific to generic and OS/2 implementation.
Use the printer's human interface to set a static IP (hostmask and
gateway) for the unit.
Create new printer object: I copied an instance of a working object
which uses color postscript driver (Apple LaserWriter); and changed the
Output Port to \pipe\lpd0 which I did not have to install.
I also downloaded from ecomstation.com the newer SLPR port which IS
faster. Both work; the LPD port requires running lprportd.exe locally;
the SLPR port does not.
This installation is on an MCP2 system created that long ago. It did
not require any spooler upgrade, thankfully.
For this particular printer, the "High Performance" option of the SLPR
port does work.
At this writing, I haven't even rebooted yet, or done extensive time
testing, but can report that pmmail, firefox, pmview, wordpro, and
ghostscript print successfully through this arrangement.
I don't know if there's a PCL6 driver which might work.
And I haven't tested yet the submission of multiple concurrent print
jobs from different sources, or serial jobs from this single source
(which should queue in the local spool).
NEXT !! :
I haven't even installed drivers on the w2k systems which will use this
printer, so I don't know what features may be available to them
(duplexing?) which I haven't seen yet.
I do look forward to using this as an exploratory platform for Paul's
CUPS ports.
Print quality in OS/2:
* It's quite good in default mode; I haven't tried for photo quality yet.
Addon: there is .psd file for this printer!
