Jim and all: I guess I'm like an old dog. I can't let go of this problem until I see the light. I came across an item on the internet today that was talking about pcl3 gui OR hp-gl2. I can't find that original document again but it did lead me to an hp page HP LaserJet Printers - Understanding and Using HP-GL and HP-GL/2 (bpl05546) . Could it be that the newer "windows printers" with pcl support, have been produced with this 1983 language, and perhaps in the future we will all be priviledged to be able to purchase an upgrade ? :)) Is it possible, that these new pcl3-gui printers need hp-gl/2 language to control them ? Seems impossible to find any documentation on pcl3 commands. Dave

Now I have never had much formal training in such things, but do have years of experience. I would think that pcl is a stand alone language and should not be specific to any operating system. So if one writes the proper code, whether it be Open Enterprise server or jbase, it should control the printer. But obviously it does not. I have given up on this project. DaveWhichever document is telling you that it is PCL 5 and up compatible is incorrect, it only supports PCL 3 Enhanced. PCL is system independent but PCL 3e seems to be deliberately crippled to make you buy a more expensive printer. Trade it in if you can.
