I just picked up an old officejet 6110xi for free which had a 
non-functioning scanner. Fixed that problem, set it up in XP first to make 
sure everything worked. Then on to OS/2. I used selective install and OS/2 
ver 4.52 CD. The printer list has no offerings for officejet specifically, 
but noticed that most of HP's inkjet printers used the Omni driver. I 
picked a deskjet xi model, installed the driver, then installed the USB 
port and the printer worked like a charm. 

The other functions will have to be setup with other software of course. I 
haven't done this myself as of yet cause I don't know if I will keep this 
or pass it on to someone else. Probably need Sane for the scanner. I don't 
think there is software for the copy function (could be wrong), but it's 
not really needed as you can copy even without being connected to a 
computer. The fax function, I wouldn't use, but I'm sure there is more than
one app that can be used for faxing.

I seem to remember something about PCL5 on the HP site, so that may work 
also.
Or, I just could have said it works :) At least on a 10 year old officejet,
it does.
Good luck,
