Do anyone know where I can find the driver for the HP P2015dn? It is rated as very good by PJ, and I would like to use it.

You can use the driver for the LASERJET.HP Laserjet 4Si.

I don't know if this is the best choice, but at least it works
for me with a P2015dn and I can print dualside...


Thank you very much. It seems to work very well, with two exceptions:

1. I am unable (or I just cannot figure it out) how to print dual
side -- print on both sides. How did you do that? The two-sided
option in the Job Properties does not seem to have any effect, and
in fact, I cannot seem to save any of my selection when I click on
the "Save" button. An immediate return to the job properties shows
nono of my selections still selected.

2. Wordpro and other types of printing works okay, but I cannot
seem to get any font control with I use DeScribe.

For PS driver, there is even a utility (pin.exe) to read a Windows .PPD
file (comes with the Windows driver) and update the OS/2 PS driver DLL
with it so that then the printer shows up with its correct name (the
utility "pin.exe" can be found in OS2\DLL\PSCRIPT directory once you
installed the PS driver).

(snip)

I could not get the pin.exe (including a new one referenced on this
gewsgroup) to process the ppd file contained on the HP installation disk.
It simply says that access was denied, and the discussion in this
newsgroup indeicates that I need to do such things as "join EAs", and
that is way past my level of competence. In any case, so far I have not
had any requirement for Post Script printing, but I would like to have it
as an option is someone could explain the process in lay terms.

Thanks, again, for getting my printer going.

Bob
