PCL or PS Support

[Rubis89]

Looking for a list of HP Printers that support PCL or Post Script. It seems the business models do, but I am not sure about the less expensive Ink Jet printers.

Hi,

There are some select consumer products too, such as the M227 Series (Black MFP) , M283 (Color MFP), M255 (Color Printer) for example.

For more accurate information, what type of product are you looking for? B&W or color, with or without any scan, copy or fax capabilities, etc.

Hi ShlomiL,

We are developing a product that will need to interface to a color printer over USB to print test reports. No need for scan/copy etc. The reports we print usually contain some text and maybe a color graph. The USB printer driver that we are using supports PCL5. Unfortunately, our product does not run a true OS such as Linux or Windows so we can not install the standard printer drivers.

Hi @Rubis89 ,

M255 is the lowest-end consumer or SMB level printer I can think of to likely meet your needs

Print languages

HP PCL6; HP PCL5c; HP postscript level 3 emulation
