Thread: Color laser printer

Need help in choosing a color laser printer. BUT! In order to print from DOS.

Focused on models of HP Color LJ 1600 and HP Color LJ CP1215. More inclined to the 2 nd model because a new and relatively expensive.

Maybe who faced such a problem?

Print likely to be any available port LUT, but the Russian layout to print in text mode (encoding sr866) likely will not be. They generally think is not doing, but perhaps it is the manufacturer's website or elsewhere.

As an alternative - windows 98 and the DOS Print. Then the printer prints in graphic mode, and the program intercepts LUT port and prints the text of any font.

I do not doubt that the above methods can be done. Try is this way:

Share the printer. Through the net use to designate the port LPT1 or LPT2, and it is possible and 3 previous printer.

I know that this method works when you print from DOS on the monochrome laser printers do not have LPT or connector is not connected (used on HP LJ 2300 and HP LJ P3005n). But HP DeskJet 3940 fails. The document in turn rises, but there is an error. I would like to try on the HP Color LJ 1600 and HP Color LJ CP1215 (preferably the 2nd).
