It is documented in your manual that comes with your printer. These include the basic commands that telles the printer what font to use, weight, or slant. I'm using a 560c that contains both black and color cartriges. I am fairly familiar with the HP class of printers, and I think that most are supported. What print filter are you using? If you are using either magicfilter or aptfilter look at the documentation for supported printers. Also check out the sunsite site.
