Re: HP 3500 Color printer -- MIDRANGE-L

Probably one of the "dumb" printers.  Check the HP site.  A LOT of HP's
now are host-based - they rely on Windows or MAC or whatever to generate
the page.  Talking to any other host (400, mainframe, UNIX) isn't
possible.  You have to buy one of the few remaining HP's with a brain to
process the PCL.   I got burned on that once - knew the price was too
good to be true for a color printer.

I had to configure an HP 4200 MFP as an *HP4000...that might work.

     Are you sure this thing CAN be connected to a 400?

     Lately, HP has been going to host-based RIPping, something
     I discovered some years ago when our 3330 arrived, and I
     found out that it wouldn't take a data stream from our
     Yestation.

     As far as I'm concerned, HP's quality has been going into
     the toilet for a few years now; therefore, my next laser
     printer is most likely going to be a Xerox 6120/n.
