Did you actually try and plug it in under eCS (in case you have it
installed)? Otherwise just install whatever Laserjet you like (a newer model
with 1200 dpi resolution). The printer uses PCL6 and Postscript, both of
which are supported fine by OS/2 for years now. So unless you want duplex
printing and other bells and whistles, the printer should just work with any
PCL or PS driver.

Its not listed on the OS/2 Hardware page -

According to HP's website this printer has the following emulation:

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en...2-3328059-1463
8-3328066-1845551.html

"HP PCL 5e, HP PCL 6, HP Postscript level 3 emulation with automatic
language switching"

Have you tried an HP LaserJet driver? Or a Postscript driver?

Under linux, it seems to be somewhat supported by CUPS (I just guickly
checked Google for 'p2015 cups driver').

There is a port of CUPS gor os/2 in Paul Smedley's page at

http://smedley.info/os2ports

I have never personally investigated CUPS, though.

Use the PPD file supplied on the CD to create a Postscript instance for
the p2015 printer. It works great here doing that. The Postscript driver
generally outputs better results anyway.
