Hi Dave,

PCL is the HP printer command language.  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.

Have a good day,

LeRoy
