[RESOLVED] HP Printers

[Mark Hill]

Does anyone know what the suffixes on HP printer driver names mean? For example, what is the difference between the following:
HP LaserJet 5
HP LaserJet 5L
HP LaserJet 5M
HP LaserJet 5P
HP LaserJet 5MP
????

Hi,
I only have manuals for the 5L, 5P and 5MP:

5L --> 4 PPM with 1MB RAM standard;
5P --> 6 PPM with 2MB RAM standard;
5MP --> 6 PPM with 3MB RAM standard.

Also, the 5L and 5P uses Enhanced PCL 5 while the 5MP uses that and/or PostScript Level 2.

The 5L's input tray holds up to 100 sheets while the 5P and 5MP has a second tray which holds up to 250 sheets as well as the standard 100 sheet tray.

Hope this helps out somewhat.

Good Luck!
