PS L2, PCL5, PCL6, 1200dpi 32ppm

same optional accessories as 8000, Internals are of a newer design.

Same size as LJ8000, too. Other than sounding like a 737 winding up its turbines, this is one rock solid printer. This printer also processes jobs quickly, throw your most complex jobs at this one.

[When printing PostScript and used with a combination of the original HP-provided PPD and CUPS you can utilize every single of the above / at 8000 model mentioned options. (supplemented by Kurt Pfeifle)]
