For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the <a href="http://hplipopensource.com/"> HPLIP driver</a> (which includes HPIJS). <p> Remember that the 6L is more like the LaserJet 4 family than the LaserJet 6 family (as with most "L" printers from HP). For example it does not work with the "lj5gray" drivers but only with the "ljet4" or "lj4dith" drivers (and also Gimp-Print and HPIJS).<p> The layout is off center and slightly rotated when using Ghostscript. (could someone else please confirm this?)<p> [Ed] I find the slight rotation bit hard to beleive, but until I head otherwise, I'll leave this printer where it is. The centering problem can be solved by simply adjusting the margins in Ghostscript.<p> ---<p> Works fine for me, with Ghostscript 5.50 and FreeBSD 3.2, and no special settings. /Karl-Johan Grahn<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> </en> </comments> </printer>
