- I would probably trust the HP DeskJet's manual. :-)
-
- The Epson EPL-6000 is a laser printer which is very close (in code
- compatibility) to the DeskJet.
-
- Incidently, DeskJet owners are finding that the new Epson driver (in
- the file epson.zoo, available via anonymous ftp from either
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu or software.watson.ibm.com) works even better than
- the stock driver in OS/2 2.0, so you might want to give that a try if
- you are experiencing any problems.
