Title: Z3200 44" Different Models - Any idea?
Post by: Mark Lindquist on March 27, 2013, 04:46:30 pm
Does anyone know the difference between the HP Z3200 44" model number H-P-Q6721B and the model H-P-Q6721B#BCB?

As far as I can tell, the "BCB" is a "government model" with an encrypted hard drive.

Is this right?  Anyone know?

Any specific differences between the units?

Thanks!

No idea. Maybe next to HP the US government also gets access to your workflow and logs on that printer then. It will not make cloning of the harddisk easier but nobody seems to be able to do that trick with a normal one either.

I did a google search for H-P-Q6721B#BCB and it comes up with a ton of sites that show the printer for sale, etc.  But not very many of the web sites are known.  Very odd.

Don't think I would want Gov having access to logs....

Agreed about not being able to clone hard drive.

The Gov't version has the encrypted HDD and is much more expensive due to this so no one can access files if they try to hack into it.
Gov't models don't normally get purchased as much, but they are available if needed.

We have a warehouse that carries both versions and this is what I was informed on.
