I just picked up a HP laserjet 1100 printer (Model 4224A). I have never
used a laser printer and I cannot find the info I need on the HP site.


HP no longer sells it, so according to them, it no longer exists.
Do you have just the printer or the scanner also (clamps on the front)?

1. I have an IEEE 1284 printer cable but it does not fit the laserjet it
is about double the size of the laserjet connector. Is there a special
cable that I need? The HP website simple says an IEEE 1284 cable.


I am using the cable that came with it. No idea what spec it is, and
didn't see a mention in any of the docs I have. Go to someplace like
Frys/microcenter and see if you can match up a cable. May cost you more
than the printer did.

2. There is a port on the bottom rear of the printer labeled PE. THe port
looks about the size of a headset input socket. There is no internal pin
visible in the socket. What is the purpose of this socket?


My printer (which is an 1100a) doesn't have a PE port. No idea what it
might be.

I have a pdf file of the user guide. Want a copy? Can Yahoo take an
attachment that big? 3megs.
