Product: HP Printer P1102
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Dear all,

 

I would like your professional advice if the above model is compatible if I downloaded the PCL 5 driver to my instrument?

 

Currently, my instrument is a standalone analytical device and it can only recognise the following printer codes:

 

- Part of ESC/P-raster

- ESC/P-9

- ESC/P-24

- PCL（PCL3、PCL5、PCL5e）

 

Thank you.

It won't work.

 

The LaserJet Pro P1102 printer is a host-based device.

 

This means that it does not support any of the Page Description Languages which you refer to.

 

It uses a proprietary host-based driver, where most of the work of rendering a page is done on the host workstation; the driver generates and sends to the printer a series of encapsulated, compressed raster images; the printer unencapsulates and uncompresses these images, and just prints the resultant dots.

Dear Dansdaduk,

 

Thank you for the prompt professional advice.

 

I would like to check with you what are the compatible HP printer models I can connect to my instrument?

 

Will there be any alignment issues?

>> ... what are the compatible HP printer models I can connect to my instrument? ...

 

I don't have a list of which HP printers support PCL5, sorry.

... and I don't think that there are any printers still available which just support PCL3 (there are plenty of inkjets printers which use PCL3 GUI, but that 's a rather different 'fork' of the language).

 

Best thing you can do is choose a selection of LaserJet devices, based on what characteristics you need (mono/colour, simplex/duplex, speed, throughput, etc.), then look closely at the data sheets / specifications of those printers to determine which Page Description Languages (printer languages) are supported. 

 

You'd need to ask Epson about Esc/P support on their devices.

 

 

>> ... Will there be any alignment issues?

 

I don't know what you are asking here.
