laserjet 6p!
Authored by: andrewgreer on Oct 14, '02 03:52:06PM

After having to print through Powerprint and Acrobat 4.0, I was excited to leave Classic behind at last and print through Jaguar. Happily, it did indeed see my printer and allowed me to choose it from a list of drivers. Sadly, it just printed blank pages. Any ideas? I'm depressed.

Second try--it worked! I ended up using earlier advice and NOT choosing the "HP Laserjet 6P" option that it gave me. Instead, I said it was "ESP" and chose "HP Laserjet Series." Okay, so it won't print from anything except Word, and graphics are iffy, but all I need is document printing, so now I'm free of Classic at last!

laserjet 6L OS X USB to Parallel
Authored by: rcray on Mar 09, '03 12:28:54AM

I was able to get a LaserJet 6L to work well using the EPS Laserjet series Cups 1.1 driver in combination with a Belkin USB to Parallel cable.

With the Infowave PowerPrint USB to Parallel cable the first print attempt would work fine, but the second would yield no output until the cable was re-connected. This problem is not seen with the Belkin cable. All is well.

I had same issue but then I noticed I had chosen the 6p postscript instead of HP Laserjet 6 series, cups+Gimp-Print v4.2.5
(This works for me on 6p via Gimp-Print with GhostScript installed)

laserjet 6p! (Gimp-Print)
Authored by: mo on Jun 17, '03 07:32:44AM

In addition to my above comment: It works as far as I can tell with all printable applications. Sometimes the connection (via USB hub) to printer gets lost and I need a restart or re-login, this also occurred after installation. Printer needs to be on to be found. do have one problem: I always get 1 empty page with the letter E on it, then after some time the real print comes. When the two green light closest to you are flashing the job is being sent to computer. here is all the info about the LaserJet 6P/6MP:

Perhaps you also get 1 white sheet and then give up before it arrives or if you get many white sheets I guess you have the Postscript driver of Gimp-Print selected instead of the 6 series.
Good luck!
