I have been using HP4SI and 5SI with new firmware at my previous job and it
was printing 132-172 on 8/12*11 on three hole papers. We used NPCONFIG with
HPENV(Tried some of the env files provided by hp and modified them as your
need). I think HP5SI is better and  can hold more then  5000 papers.

Thanks,
Raj
