The LJ1012 is a host-based raster printer and does not
support any PCL commands.
You have to use the HPLIP driver on Linux and Windows
LJ1012 driver on XP.
Hope this helps.

I have an HP1012 hooked up to my win XP machine
(runs great).
I'm running an lpd daemon on my XP machine which
will send raw data to the printer
or it will send it using the HP
windows drivers.
My application puts out pure PCL5 to cups which
isn't using any filters,
hands it off to my windows lpd daemon,
which in turn sends it to the hp1012.
works great, then I get the Unsupported
Personality: PCL error at times.
I understand the printer is a host based printer.
But why does it work one minute
and give me the error the
next?
OK. Now. I installed the hplip on my FC3 machine.
Now what? Will it take in PCL5
and send that to the printer to
function properly?
Or do I need to envelope my PCL5 job within PJL
codes?
I'm not using anything fancy, ESC E - set for
portrait - set font 8U and the top and left margins
the job is just cursor positioning and font size
setting. Then print ASCII text. No graphics.
Do I need HPLIP? to send PCL5 to this printer?
I've tried using the LPD daemon to send using the
windows driver, but sending PCL5 into a windows
driver doesn't get me anywhere.
I don't think the problem is the daemon, which
works great on other non host based printers, I'd
prefer not to change all my applications to spit
out Postscript so I can go through ghostscript.
Thanks for any input on this issue.
