HP LaserJet 3P w/PS 300 300 A Postscript For basic printing functionality use the <a href="http://hplipopensource.com/">HPIJS driver </a>. For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the <a href="http://hplipopensource.com/"> HPLIP driver</a> (which includes HPIJS). <p> This printer only works "Perfectly" in the PCL mode (ljet3/ljet3d Ghostscript drivers).<p> Same as a IIIP, just with a postscript cartridge.<p> Under Red Hat "install a printer" and select "PostScript" as the printer.<p> lpr installs and uses the Gnu Magicfilter by default.<p> High quality print.<p> Some pdf documents do not translate to a PostScript file that this printer can print, even if Level 1 is explicitly selected on the xpdf command line. Same result with Adobe Acroreader. May be related to the age of the PS cartridge (1991).<p> The old PS cartdrige cannot handle the output of some recent applications.<p> Using the ljet3 and ljet3d Ghostscript drivers can speed up printing because your PC can do the converting from PS to ljet much faster than the PS Cartridge<p> In PS mode, input trays can be selected by the following PS command: 'statusdict /setpapertray known {statusdict begin 0 setpapertray end} if {} pop' where '0' is the first tray, '1' the second.<p> Consumables/Refills: Toner cartridge $80<p>
