Re: multifunction device support? HP LaserJet 3100
I looked at one of those too and as far as I could figure out it's a
winprinter. It supposedly has the HP6L print hardware, but it doesn't
support PCL or postscript. I think all the intelligence was moved to the
windows driver. There is a web page about a group trying to get linux to
support the OfficeJet series. I don't know if they're considering this
product or not. I think the OfficeJet products come from a different
division and are ink jet printers, while the 3100 is a laser printer.
Since the products were developed by different groups, the driver might
not be similar.
