ditched my Samsung ML-2150, got an HP P2055dn - now I'm happy!
The Samsung printer was getting all these "errors," which meant that I
had to power-cycle the printer with each print job. Unplugged the Samsung and put it into a pile for the local e-recycling center. So today I took delivery of my new HP printer. Love it. Network enabled, has options for duplex, 250 page tray, etc., etc. And I discovered that there is a slot for a memory upgrade. (Not sure if this is a proprietary HP memory part or not.) Ripped all the Samsung printer installs (multiple, for options like duplex and landscape printing) and the Samsung printer port, and installed the equivalents for the HP P2055. Only problem is that sometimes the Add Printer wizard would seem to stall. Installing and configuring this printer seems to take a lot of time relative to any other printer I have experience with. I was very happy with my ability to configure the printer via a browser interface, because I have the printer on my home LAN. |

OTOH, you generally don't configure a printer all that often. |

Print languages HP PCL 5c; HP PCL 6; HP postscript level 3 emulation with automatic language switching Ah, but there is a bug of sorts. If I have an Adobe PDF that is a scanned image and I print that to Postscript, it seems to take about 15 minutes (yes, 15 minutes) per page. If I switch to PCL, I get the same doc printed at normal speeds. Only downside is that PCL 6 seems much more CPU-intensive than PS. for... $325!!! Yeah, with free shipping from newegg! So you come here to tease us mere mortals with this heavenly machine? Go to hell! Well, see above. -AH Only problem is that sometimes the Add Printer wizard would seem to stall.

Last year I ordered a 256Mb memory card for my HP CP1515n printer from MISCO. It cost under Ł10, less than 1/5 the price of the HP part from the same dealer. It was invoiced as 'Kingston HP/Compaq Equivalent' and was recommended by MISCO technical support. It does not invalidate the HP warranty (which I have had to invoke). Perhaps you could get a similar service from MISCO for your HP printer. Thanks. I'll try that. I'm also going to see if one of the 1 GB memory sticks from my Lenovo laptop will work. They seem to be the same size. Then I have an excuse to upgrade the memory in my laptop! Adding the card to the printer was a trivial job. It seems that way. -AH Brian. |
