Printer Compatibility

In February 2000 RISCOS Ltd asked RISC OS users to let us know what printers they were using (and/or would like to use) so that the development team could ensure that development of the printing system was being channelled into areas needed by the community.

The results here are a 'cutdown' version of the full results we have gathered; peoples names and addresses have been removed to avoid any privacy issues. Any comments attached to each record are purely those of the individual that sent the report in. 3QD Developments Ltd does not endorse any opinions expressed therein.

Manufacturer : Brother

Model:HL-1050
PDF:HP.LJ.LasJet-6
Comments:Doesn't drive to 1200x600 (only to 600x600).

Model:HL-1060
PDF:HP.LJ.LasJet-5
Comments:No 1200dpi support in driver but I can't tell the difference
between windows 1200dpi and RISC OS 600dpi on printouts. Lots of other
Brother models have the same or similar engines and should work fine.
Some older ones are PCL4 instead.

Model:HL-1070
PDF:LasJet-6
Comments:Some resolutions and half-toning etc not available.

Model:HL-630
Originator:HP.LJ.LasJet-4
Status:Works for 99% of printouts. Supplied with !printers.
Comments:If printer has little memory (they do by default) disabling
error diffusion helps.

Status:Commercial
Comments:Drives 600dpi at 6ppm

Model:HL-660
Originator:HP.LJ.LasJet-4
Status:Works for 90% of printouts/ Supplied with !printers.
Comments:If printer has little memory (they do by default) disabling
error diffusion helps. Sometimes need to use LasJet-III for
complex documents due to slight incompatibilities.

Model:BR-Script 2 board + HL-660
PDF:Postscript level 2
Comments: Seems to hang occasionally - not fully investigated - gives a
printed error page. Printer has 6MB internal RAM but the
'hanging' may be related to lack of memory due to font
interpretation from Ovation Pro documents. Soon to be upgraded
to the max addressable 10MB.

Model:HL-730 Plus
PDF:HP laserjet-III
Comment:300*300dpi only; printer capable of 600*600dpi.

Model:HL-760
PDF:HP.LasJet-4

Manufacturer : Calligraph

Model:A4-1200 Laser

Comments:Not strictly part of !Printers as it does not use it but is driven
direct from its own application via a podule.

Model:LZR888

Originator:Calligraph
Status:Not supported
Comments:Requires Calligraph card. Fails to print some more recent files correctly
and crashes rather a lot, but much better to use than Acorn driver, especially when
printing from file.

double-sided; A3; and manual sheet feeder. Font list extended as for HPLJ4 above.
Halftones a little too fine, but less of a problem because we don't photocopy the output.

Comments:PDF was written for the Novajet 3 model but works equally well with the Pro.
There are several problems, most serious being a printable length restriction in RISC OS.
This has been discussed with Robin Watts. I have used the HP DJ660C driver with the Novajet.
I believe the Novajet driver is based on an HP one since the Novajet uses HPGL2.

Comment:No PhotoRealism.
Comments:If the printer is set to colour print, it is slow, even on black and white lines.
To get speed one must set to B&W. However, in Windoze printing, a mixed B&W and colour
document prints fast on B&W lines but slows on lines containing colour, but not as slow as
the Acorn driver. With !Printers v1.62 on RISC OS 4 all 6 modes work correctly despite some reports
that the 720 dpi non-microweave and the 1440 dpi modes are broken.

I use PostScript (Apple LW II NTX - see below) to file, make it PDF with GhostScript and then print
in in Windows 98 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. Good results are achieved this way. (BTW: I didn't buy the
printer but got from the company I work at for the odd home office job.)

Model:DeskJet 970Cxi
PDF:DJ970PCL
Originator:[name withheld for privacy]
Status:Offered to ExpLAN for further development
Comments:Drives to a maximum 600dpi, does not support the built in Duplexer or PhotoRealistic
printing capability. This printer has auto cartridge alignment so a separate toolbox type app is
not required unlike most other recent inkjets. With my RISC OS 3.7, Printers 1.54 system the printer
requires waking up before printing is possible from RISC OS, this is done with a small app which
just sends a reset. This may not be necessary with later versions of RISC OS/Printers.
Could be made public if ExpLAN decide not to develop further?

PDF:HP Laserjet II
Comments:Modified $.!Boot.Choices.Printers.lj.Resources.Messages to overcome two problems with the standard PDF:
A Printer Reset causes the Top Margin to be set to the printer default of 1/2in which the application
cannot then use. To set Top Margin to zero added ESC & l 0 E to the paper tray selection string because
it is sent after the reset string.
Paper tray selection is not possible via Printers - it should be.
The standard AUTO_FEED string always selects bottom paper tray. Altered to ESC & l 0 H to allow selection
of paper cassette by printer panel buttons.

Comments:The Read_Me File says "SJ-48 (inkjet) Canon.BJC-800 (switch 1 ON)", but I think that
never worked right here. Instead I ever used the SJ-144 driver with Quality set to "Grey, diffused".
Sorry, I can't test that ATM because this printer has no more ink.
