Postscript level 2 out of the box, parallel and USB connection,
|
45
|
+
1200n with ethernet connection, scan extension available.<p>
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
For basic printing functionality use the Postscript PPD. For
|
48
|
+
advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance
|
49
|
+
features, use the <a
|
50
|
+
href="http://hplipopensource.com/"> HPLIP
|
51
|
+
driver</a> (which includes HPIJS). <p>
|
52
|
+
|
53
|
+
This printer is a good choice for a cheap laser printer,
|
54
|
+
especially when you print a lot of text documents, as letters,
|
55
|
+
documentation, manuals, ... for these documents it is really fast,
|
56
|
+
as advertized by HP. But when using it on complicated graphics
|
57
|
+
(web pages rendered by Konqueror, photo "convert"ed to
|
58
|
+
PostScript with ImageMagick) in PostScript mode, it is very slow
|
59
|
+
and can easily run out of memory. If you use it in PCL mode, it is
|
60
|
+
fast in both text and graphics printing. Therefore we recommend to
|
61
|
+
use this printer with a Ghostscript driver like
|
62
|
+
"pxlmono" or HPLIP.<p>

Here is a somewhat longer
|
65
|
+
review from Robert (racsw at frontiernet dot net):<p>
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
<i>My testing was done on a PIII / 600Mhz machine with 256K
|
68
|
+
of RAM installed running Mandrake Linux 8.1. While I intended to
|
69
|
+
use this printer as a USB connected device, I was never successful
|
70
|
+
at getting it to work properly, and so switched over to a parallel
|
71
|
+
port connection. In fairness, I don't believe this is the
|
72
|
+
fault of the printer itself. I see no
|
73
|
+
reason why it shouldn't work on USB (</i>ed: Mandrake
|
74
|
+
8.2 configures this printer.
|
75
|
+
automatically<i>).<p>
|
76
|
+
|
77
|
+
IMO, the 1200/1200se is an excellent high-volume document printer,
|
78
|
+
and those folks like myself that need to print the normal volumes
|
79
|
+
of documents, How-To's, Installation procedures, etc, that a
|
80
|
+
typical Linux user requires will find this printer an excellent
|
81
|
+
choice.<p>
|
82
|
+
|
83
|
+
The printer itself comes with 8Mb of memory onboard, with a 100
|
84
|
+
pin DIMM slot capable of another 64Mb, for a total of 72Mb. In the
|
85
|
+
testing I performed with and without this additional memory
|
86
|
+
installed, I could find no difference in speed either way. But
|
87
|
+
for those who feel they want this memory anyhow, I would advise
|
88
|
+
you purchase the Kingston module from <a
|
89
|
+
href="http://www.pcconnection.com/">http://www.pcconnection.com/</a>
|
90
|
+
for $39.00. HP wants a whopping $470.00 (more expensive than the
|
91
|
+
printer itself, 12x the price of the Kingston memory) for the same
|
92
|
+
module.<p>
|
93
|
+
|
94
|
+
For those wanting to print graphics on this machine, I would
|
95
|
+
suggest an Inkjet printer instead like a DeskJet or the popular
|
96
|
+
and proven Epson Stylus C80. If attempting to print a WYSIWYG
|
97
|
+
rendition of a web page, I would make two suggestions. First,
|
98
|
+
don't use Konqueror. Konqueror has two disadvantages. For one,
|
99
|
+
there is no selection for GreyScale, which, when used, cuts the
|
100
|
+
printing time down from 10 - 15 seconds to about 2 - 3. Secondly,
|
101
|
+
Konqueror also does some strange things with the image, which,
|
102
|
+
when printed, will render your copy hard to read with respect to
|
103
|
+
font sizes and such.<p>
|
104
|
+
|
105
|
+
Here's what OpenPrinting founder Grant Taylor
|
106
|
+
says:<p>
|
107
|
+
|
108
|
+
"Konq appears to print using a Qt canvas widget feature whereby the
|
109
|
+
canvas widget unifies the fonts - you'll see it flicker into
|
110
|
+
small font for a moment - and generates equivalent ps code.
|
111
|
+
Oddly, it unifies the fonts to some weird 6-point font that's
|
112
|
+
mostly useless on paper; this is what you saw. One can only hope
|
113
|
+
they'll fix this in KDE3."<p>
|
114
|
+
|
115
|
+
I tested most of the browsers on this printer, and by far and away
|
116
|
+
the most readable, highest quality WYSIWYG printing was from
|
117
|
+
Netscape.<p>
|
118
|
+
|
119
|
+
But that's not what this printer is designed for. For
|
120
|
+
documentation and online manuals, it's hard to
|
121
|
+
beat. It's very fast, quiet and smooth. Contrary to another
|
122
|
+
user's report, I found the paper tray well constructed and
|
123
|
+
easy to insert. It's strength was evidenced by finding my
|
124
|
+
10lb (near 5 kg) house cat sitting on it one afternoon.<p>
|
125
|
+
|
126
|
+
As far as the rendering speed is concerned, I think it's
|
127
|
+
fine. HP advertises a 10 second print time for this machine, and
|
128
|
+
as long as you're not using Konqueror, I was able to meet this
|
129
|
+
time consistently. If the user selects "GreyScale"
|
130
|
+
instead of color for their particular application, the time takes
|
131
|
+
a drastic nosedive to 2-3 seconds, with the same image on the
|
132
|
+
page as you would have seen if you had selected "Color"
|
133
|
+
instead. This 10 second time was also verified by another 1200
|
134
|
+
user running SUSE 7.3.<p>
|
135
|
+
|
136
|
+
If this printer takes longer to print, it's apparently not
|
137
|
+
the internal rendering logic at fault, but the browser or
|
138
|
+
application used instead.<p>
|
139
|
+
|
140
|
+
</i>[...]<i> I think recommending this printer to
|
141
|
+
others is a safe bet. It is working perfectly, and as long as I
|
142
|
+
use it for what it's intended, it does it's job quickly
|
143
|
+
and quietly. </i>[...]<i> People who want to print
|
144
|
+
graphics would probably not select a LaserJet of any variety,
|
145
|
+
unless it's for proofing. And then, it becomes a function of
|
146
|
+
the application that creates and sends the job to the printer that
|
147
|
+
determines what comes out on the page. This I have proven after
|
148
|
+
all these tests.<p>
|
149
|
+
|
150
|
+
I would also say that I used the CUPS printing system for the
|
151
|
+
majority of my testing, and it seems to work fine. There was no
|
152
|
+
bad test results that I achieved that I could attribute to the
|
153
|
+
CUPS system itself. Usually, with Netscape, Mozilla, Adobe
|
154
|
+
Acrobat, etc, I would specify "qtcups" as the print
|
155
|
+
command. Using "lpr" worked as well with no discernible
|
156
|
+
difference.<p>
|
157
|
+
|
158
|
+
I give "two thumbs up" for this printer for sure, and because of
|
159
|
+
the $399 price tag, I can now justify the speed and cost-per-page
|
160
|
+
advantage of owning a high-volume LaserJet for home
|
161
|
+
use.</i><p>
