- For basic printing functionality use the <a
- href="http://hplipopensource.com/">HPIJS
- driver </a>. For advanced functionality such
- as printer status and maintenance features, use the
- <a href="http://hplipopensource.com/">
- HPLIP driver</a> (which includes HPIJS). <p>
-
- Remember that the 6L is more like the LaserJet 4 family than the
- LaserJet 6 family (as with most "L" printers from
- HP). For example it does not work with the
- "lj5gray"/"lj5mono" drivers but only with the
- "ljet4" or "lj4dith" drivers (and
- also Gimp-Print and HPIJS).<p>
-
- The layout is off center and slightly rotated when using
- Ghostscript. (could someone else please confirm this?)<p>
-
- [Ed] I find the slight rotation bit hard to beleive, but until I
- head otherwise, I'll leave this printer where it is. The
- centering problem can be solved by simply adjusting the margins in
- Ghostscript.<p>

- Works fine for me, with Ghostscript 5.50 and FreeBSD 3.2, and no
- special settings. /Karl-Johan Grahn<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
- <a href="http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=bpl08107">web site</a>.<p>
