I have to agree on the warning regarding these printers.
Our corporate structure includes a few Redhat (RHEL) servers from
another (internal) corporate entity that prints postscript to devices
on my network using HPs port 9100 setup.
For sake of convenience, it was always easier for me to just buy HP. I
was happy with the printers, 9100 was always enabled by default and
the world was right.
I have a mix of HP models depending on purchase date - 1300n, 1320n,
etc. Also had about 10 HP 2015s that were working FINE...
...until they upgraded their server to the most recent Redhat/Linux
kernel. Forgive me for not knowing (caring) about which version, but
the basics are that a Redhat upgrade on the server end left me with 10
useless printers that were blamed on either my networking skills or HP
firmware.
It's nice to know that I'm not seeing things, as it was fairly obvious
to me that the Redhat upgrade caused these printers to stop properly
printing .ps files.
I had to run out and buy 10 Lexmarks just to keep offices running and
ultimately eat the "hit" for equipment not functioning. Not to mention
that nobody will believe that the Redhat upgrade caused the problem
(even though it seems HP is ultimately at fault).
