Thus, even if you were on a Windows machine and go to the DOS prompt, doing "DIR &gt; LPT1:" will fail; everything has to go through the windows drivers. (sigh)<p> According to the <a href="http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/suplist.shtml">hpoj project</a>:<p> <i>...if you have a LaserJet 3150 connected to an HP JetDirect 70X/170X/300X/500X with firmware x.08.xx or later, you can scan using the JetDirect's embedded web server.</i><p> So this is a multifunction device that only scans!<p> If you have the luxury of a seperate MS Windows box, you can share the printer in the following manner:<p> After installing the normal drivers and JetSuite (HP software), add yet another printer. Use the LPT1: port and HP LasertJet II as the driver, then share this printer. You can now access this share via Linux as an SMB client; use the vanilla "laserjet" driver. The PCL emulation will complain, though the printout is fine thus far. You can turn off the complaints by editing your $WINDIR\JETSUITE.INI and in the "[PCLEmulation]" section, set "DisplayWarning=no".<p> <a href="/download/printing/hplj_3100_3150/">Reverse-engeneering efforts</a> on the printer's protocol have already started, but were not finished. Anyone who makes this device finally working with free software please report on the the HP Forum here on OpenPrinting.<p> Unfortunately, this printer has a little hardware problem: The paper separation pad hardens with the time and the printer pulls in several sheets of paper at once. HP is aware of this and offers a kit to fix this without needing to disassemble the printer for free. It can be ordered for delivery into any country via their <a href="http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=bpl08107">web site</a>.<p><p> Consumables/Refills: cartridge<p> </en> </comments> </printer>
