They function differently at the communication level but the printing functionality is the same. When you were trying the HPPJLDRV driver you did set the port to 9100? That's the most common issue I see with newly configured printers using HPPJLDRV is that someone forgets to set the port.

Is there any difference functionally between the *HPPJLDRV and *IBMSNMPDRV drivers? A client would like to set up an HP 404DN printer. Using *HPPJLDRV did not work at all. The writer ended immediately when attempting to print any spool. IBM support recommended trying *IBMSNMPDRV.
Why would the driver designed for HP printers not work but the IBM one would? Is there any reduction of functionality using that driver?
