We just got two of these HP LJ M602 "enterprise" printers in, and I'm trying to work out what driver/ppd. The model's not listed in the current - does anyone know what might work for it? I really don't want to have to install hplips on 140 or 150 systems....

Normally I've had decent experience wit LJ4/5/6 PCL5 drivers for HP printers. But lj1020 gave me a tough time way back in 2007 or so when centos 5 was new.

Not sure if it is of same vintage as lj1020 like stuff.

Thanks. Just to try to get it running, I've modified CUPS for the Laserjet Series 6 PCL. I also tried lp -d <printer> file.ps, and it printed, though the filename at the top/bottom was cut in half.

Try cups test page using localhost:631. I used to use it as an inch and mm scale sometimes :)

Oh, right, good thought... well, the thing is, folks print via what, IPP? from their workstations or servers, not through a central control, I think. I might be able to use the web interface to set it on the printer itself.

Here is the CUPS homepage. Loads of usefull information on that site ;)

Hi Mark.

According to this page:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_600_m602.ht...

Network printing is supported.

I thought you only needed to install the printer drivers on the machine the printer is physically connected to, and all the other machines (including Windows boxes) would be able to print over the LAN to these CUPS printer?

What do you mean, the machine it's physically connected to? This is a networked printer, with its own IP, plugged into the network, nothing between it and the switch.

OK thanks for pointing that out mark.

So does it have it's own linux CUPS server built into it?

Keith
