Urgent Need for OS/2 Printer Driver
I'm in urgent need of an OS/2 driver for a Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet P2015/P2015d printer.
After 15+ years of reliable service, my HP LaserJet IIIP
printer finally succumbed to old age ... ~:-(
A new HP LaserJet P2015d was subsequently purchased directly
from HP after checking the specs which indicated support for
OS/2, in addition to the Windows/Mac platforms. Confirmed by
the HP Small & Medium Business group from whom the printer
was purchased. There was also further agreement that if OS/2
support was not satisfactory, the printer could be returned
for a full refund.
Unfortunately, the published online spec sheet was incorrect:
There is no HP support for OS/2, and Linux is rather limited.
Otherwise, the printer is really superb. Before returning it,
I'm trying to find an OS/2 driver somewhere in the world which
might be available. So far, no luck!
If anyone has an HP LaserJet P2015/P2015d which prints under
OS/2 (or eCS); or knows where an OS/2 driver can be found,
PLEASE respond back to me just as soon as possible. There is
only very short time left for me to return the printer to HP.
I will be most grateful for your prompt assistance.
Many thanks in advance.

IBM never did a driver for the P2015 but they did release an OS/2 driver
for the HP Laserjet 2100 which also supports HP PCL 5e and 1200 dpi so I
would try installing it as an HP Laserjet 2100 and I would think that
would work.

I use a P2015d with the driver for the HP_Laserjet4Si
including support for duplex without problems.
