Hi all,
Looking for recommendations basically.
We have a new HP Laserjet P2055DN that just won't play nice with our
Win2k3-based printer server. After having searched the 'net and HP's support
site for a couple of hours, I've now found that the reason for this is most
likely HP's (host-based) Universal Printer Driver and the fact that the 2055DN
is a GDI-printer in disguise. In any case, it's just plain buggy and slow when
connected to the network and the printer server.
Connected over a usb-cable, it prints fast and nice, although it can't print
single-sided documents for some reason, it prints duplex whatever setting I
set... Flashed it to no avail... 8-/
So, would you guys have any recommendations on what to buy, that is an
honest-to-god real network printer like HP *used* to be five-six years ago?
I've heard Xerox is supposedly pretty good and that they normally don't have
this silly hidden host-based junk like most all HP have nowadays. But what
model should I look into you think?
Hints and recommendations appreciated! Thanks.
