Printer drivers are NOT individual to each printer.
(Big waste of software expenditure)
Manufacturers make them to suit a range of printers so all HP6xxxx
printers will share the same printer driver.
Example I use OKIB431dn printer , Linux printer drivers give a range of
drivers than it can use: from "Generic", to Oki B200xx, B250xx, B300xx,
B350xx, All of these work with the B431 so I can load any OR
download the OKI Linux driver for that B series as a file.
Your 6000 driver is probably suitable for all 6xxxx printers.
