PCL is HP's page description language. Postscript is also a page description language, but the two are incompatible. PCL has various levels & extensions matched to the hardware capabilities of the printers. HP can do this since it's a propriatary format. AFAIK all HP printers are backwards-compatible with earlier PCL levels. On Tuesday, February 29, 2000 8:01 AM, Joe Hylkema [SMTP:josephhy@wsu.edu] wrote:

Changed it to LJ4 in YaST, and it works perfectly now. Cranked out the ENTIRE XEmacs manual at 10 ppm, a speed that, for me, was unheard of a short year ago. Further proof that the $379 at Costco I paid for the printer as a college student was money well spent.

Thanks for your help and for informing me that it's PCL, not PS. Apparently HP departed from PS for the LJ4 for some reason.

Now for a really stupid question - what is PCL? Is it a form of PS or something?
