Has anyone got this model to work with RISC OS, either via USB or as a network printer using RPFS?

It prints automagically from my Android devices very nicely, but doesn't
seem to like the PostScript drivers, though as a plus it doesn't use up all the paper and cause a scrabble for the mains plug.

It does seem to be accepting (some) data, but doesn't quite get round to using it.

I suspect it might need a subtly different USB driver, or a magic
incantation in the RPFS string. It does declare that it has LPD on!

My main usage will/can be PDF files, and I can manage via shared drives to print via Android, but any alternative input would be welcome!

This printer appears to support the IPP/IPPS protocols so you could try installing/setting up the IPP printing (via your network not USB) which
will be how your Android is doing the printing.

In terms of Postscript, are you using the Postscript 3 printer drivers, or
the older Postscript 2. You really need to be using Postscript 3 on modern printers ideally.

I have encountered an odd effect with some HP printers and the RISC OS drivers. The data is sent to the printer and occasionally nothing happens. Then either after a wait of a minute or so, or when a second print is
sent, the printer responds. It seems that the final part of the message is missing in some circumstances. Could this be what you are getting?
