Note: chips for some printers in this group can be (but are not usually) setup in such a way that they will not be moveable from one printer to another. Please check with us before changeing printers

Laser Jet 9050 use RAMBOX
Laser Jet 4650 (color) use NetBOX with 1284BC adapter cable
Laser Jet M601 / M602 can use common FLASH thumb drives

Unsupported HP printers:

LaserJet 2035 is NOT actually a PCL5 printer. It only /emulates/ PCL5 through it's printer driver so the SmartBOX/NetBOX can not support it. In the future, the XPS driver will support this printer. The LJ 2055, which does support PCL5, should work, but has not been tested.

Note: Chips can generally be moved between printers within each group above. E.g. You can upgrade your 2200 to a 2300 and will not require a new chip; just move the chip from the 2200 to the 2300. If you need to move between groups, replacement chips or boxes will be required at a minimal charge.
