They speak different protocols ("PJL" vs "SNMP"). It depends on which networking capabilities the printer or print server supports.

Is there any difference functionally between the *HPPJLDRV and *IBMSNMPDRV drivers? A client would like to set up an HP 404DN printer. Using *HPPJLDRV did not work at all. The writer ended immediately when attempting to print any spool. IBM support recommended trying *IBMSNMPDRV.

Why would the driver designed for HP printers not work but the IBM one would? Is there any reduction of functionality using that driver?
