Drivers

The following driver(s) are known to drive this printer:

Recommended driver:

 
pxlmono  (driver home page)
 
Prints 1200x1200 using pxlmono driver, but I could only make it work after setting to 1200dpi using PJL. You can do this conveniently using Matt Simpson's pup utility. If you do use pup, the resolution option for HP2100M worked fine (i.e. no need to compile IEEE1284 into your kernel).
This driver is free software.
Type: Ghostscript built-in
