I am having no trouble printing in Win-OS/2 sessions using the driver 
that shipped with the printer.  Another thing that I have not seen 
mentioned in this thread is that OS/2 will not allow the use of the 
host mode(?) driver.  You must use the PCL driver on disk three.  It 
is easiest to install and configure the driver from the Printers icon 
in the Windoze Control Panel.

On a related note, I have found the output from the Windows driver to 
be far superior to the OS/2 driver from Hewlett-Packard's Website, 
especially when it comes to printing graphics.
