Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

I use a HP laserjet 6P for toner transfert. I ran accross the same problem but finally found that the only mean to change the default density was through a DOS utility found on HP web site.
Here is a link for the LJ 6P :

Don't know if it will work with the 5P. Otherwise, you can make a search on HP web site with "DOS remote control panel"

            Has anyone successfully used a HP 5P printer to do toner transfers?    

I'm using paper from Pulsar with a laminator that they sell (bought 

from Digi_Key).  The tone never sticks properly.  Pulsar tech support 

suggests I increase the Toner density to max.  The 5P manual states 

that the default density setting is 3 of a 1 to 5 scale.  I've gone 

through all the menu options in the printer menu but I can't seam to 

find any density settings other than econo_mode which I have set to 

off.  I'm using the driver supplied with XP currently but, I also 

looked at the old 2001 driver HP now has available on there site.  I 

have a new HP brand cartridge install so that is not an issue. Pulsar 

support also suggested that I check the temperature of the laminator to 

ensure it is around 270 to 290 C using a temperature probe.  The 

trouble there is that the only probe I can fine is at least .125" 

around.



If anyone can help I will truly be grateful.

Brian
