I've got a networked HP Color LaserJet CP4025 printer which is connected
to a RHEL v5.5 server. RHEL v5.5 doesn't support this printer out of
the box, so I installed HP's open source package, HPLIP v3.10.5.
When configuring the CP4025 in RHEL CUPS my only option was the
PostScript driver. I can print correctly from CUPS on the server.
I exported the printer via Samba, and I can successfully print from
Windows boxes. Installing HP's current CP4025 drivers on Windows I was
only offered the option of PCL6.
I configured local printers on Fedora 12 & 13 systems, pointing them to
the CUPS server on the RHEL server. I selected the printer model from
the system-config-printer tool and was only given the option of PCL3.
To sum up:
RHEL Server: CUPS(PS) --> CP4025
Windows: driver(PCL6) --> Samba --> CUPS --> CP4025
Fedora{12,13}: driver(PCL3) --> IPP --> CUPS --> CP4025
On initial testing, it all seems to work. What nags at me, though, are
the 3 different methods of page description. Am I wrong to think that
mixing PostScript, PCL3 and PCL6 is a problem waiting to happen?
Thanks.
