HP LaserJet M4345

[Udo Hortian]

Hello,

We have the HP LaserJet M4345 here. And I tried to print on it.

As far as I know one can use a socket:// URL with port 9100 to access the printer.
I used a tool of gnome to configure the printer and got a hp:// URL (I suppose this has something to do with hpijs?). A nnap run on the printer gave me the following:

21/tcp   open  ftp
23/tcp   open  telnet
80/tcp   open  http
280/tcp  open  http-mgmt
443/tcp  open  https
515/tcp  open  printer
631/tcp  open  ipp
9100/tcp open  jetdirect

Because of port 515, I suppose lpd is possible too. And because of port 631 I guess that I could also use ipp?!

So the first question is: Which method to use to access the printer?


Then there are at least two major drivers: hpijs and simply PostScript.
Which of them should I use? I don't want to do scanning or faxing. But I would like to do printing in the different ways (long/short-edge two-sided printing, ...).

Thank you for any help!
Udo.
