Are They Compatible?

I have a Laerjet 6MP printer-- or so it says on the casing, but when
pressing the self-test button, the printout says Laserjet 6P. Several
vendors add to the confusion by selling what seems to be the same
cartridge but under slightly different designations and at varying
prices.

Does anyone know if the 6P and 6MP cartridges are the same? Or, if not
the same, are they interchangeable and compatible with each other?
Help, here, would be appreciated.

Ron, you haven't been around usenet for long have you? Here is the
link to the manual for both, they certainly are the same and will take
the same toner cartridge.

http://pdfcast.org/pdf/hp-laserjet-6p-6mp-manual

It took me about 2 minutes with Google to find this and then a little
while to download and read the first few pages. You could have done
that, or at least exhausted *some* options before asking for help
here.

IIRC the 6MP is a 6P with the PostScript interpreter installed on a DIMM
near the memory sockets. The hardware is otherwise the same.

Oh, gee; and I spent an hour and a half looking at nothing but page
after page after page of ads... Look, moron, if I could have found the
information I needed, I wouldn't have asked. I don't need abuse from a
self-righteous asshole.

Either volunteer the information or don't-- but don't be smug over it.
You don't impress anyone, particularly not me.

Many thanks for the info, Mike.

And my mission in life is to impress you, whoever the **** you are?

Have a nice day...
