I've just got a used HP Laserjet 2420. One feature that got me excited is that it has a slot for Compact Flash to be used as persistent storage (fonts, etc).
I put one in but it comes up as "uninitialized".
The printer can't initialize it, the only way I can find is to use HP's JetAdmin software from the host PC. But the only version I can find on HP's site, or anywhere else, is 10.x, the latest, which requires Windows 7 -- and I'm running XP.
So does anyone have an XP version?
Alternatively, does anyone know what disk format HP uses on its laserjets? I assume it would be the same for hard disks or flash.
The card I have is FAT. I could take it out and format it on a PC in whatever format if it's a standard one, like Linux EXT3, etc.
I found a Xerox utility that should be able to load fonts once the disk is recognised.
