HP LaserJet 2100M
 
Black & White laser printer, max. 1200x1200 dpi, works Perfectly
Recommended Driver: hplip (Home page)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Miscellaneous

Printer supports PJL.
Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.

Comments

For basic printing functionality use the Postscript PPD. For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

PostScript level 2 printer, 1200dpi... that's all what is needed.

Note: The recommended driver is set to "pxlmono" here because the printer returns the same answer to auto-detection requests as its little PostScript-less brother, LaserJet 2100 (without "M"). So Foomatic frontends which choose the printer model by the auto-detection info will not fail when the user has only the printer without PostScript.
