Well, I think you could also have asked it on the mailing
list, because there are a lot more people who can answer
your question, maybe from different points of view and with
another knowledge level than me :-)

Unfortunately it is very difficult to get documentation from
HP about the protocols used with their printers. As far as I 
remember, the 3100/3150 use a different protocol (not MLC) than
the other printers, and our driver is currently limited to
MLC. Maybe, some time, someone will start hacking the protocol
used with thw 3100/3150, but unfortunately currently we can 
not support it. Maybe a completely new driver must be written.
