- Multifunction device - copier/scanner/fax/etc.<p>
-
- PCL 4 emulation appears to be host-based.<p>
-
- Known variants: 3100xi (US retail), 3100se (US business). 3100 is
- international model.<p>
-
- Not usable with free software: an HP tech support person told that
- half of the 3100's functionality is handled by the
- Windows-only drivers. Thus, even if you were on a Windows machine
- and go to the DOS prompt, doing "DIR > LPT1:"
- will fail; everything has to go through the windows
- drivers. (sigh)<p>
-
- According to the <a
- href="http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/suplist.shtml">hpoj
- project</a>:<p>
-
- <i>...if you have a LaserJet 3150 connected to an HP
- JetDirect 70X/170X/300X/500X with firmware x.08.xx or later, you
- can scan using the JetDirect's embedded web
- server.</i><p>
-
- So this is a multifunction device that only scans!<p>
-
- If you have the luxury of a seperate MS Windows box, you can share
- the printer in the following manner:<p>
-
- After installing the normal drivers and JetSuite (HP software),
- add yet another printer. Use the LPT1: port and HP LasertJet II as
- the driver, then share this printer. You can now access this share
- via Linux as an SMB client; use the vanilla "laserjet"
- driver. The PCL emulation will complain, though the printout is
- fine thus far. You can turn off the complaints by editing your
- $WINDIR\JETSUITE.INI and in the "[PCLEmulation]"
- section, set "DisplayWarning=no".<p>

- href="/download/printing/hplj_3100_3150/">Reverse-engeneering
- efforts</a> on the printer's protocol have already
- started, but were not finished. Anyone who makes this device
- finally working with free software please report on the the HP
- Forum here on OpenPrinting.<p>
-
- Unfortunately, this printer has a little hardware problem: The
- paper separation pad hardens with the time and the printer pulls
- in several sheets of paper at once. HP is aware of this and offers
- a kit to fix this without needing to disassemble the printer for
- free. It can be ordered for delivery into any country via their
