Karl, Have you tried printing to it from a pdf or other multi-font graphical format? You may have a bad printer or other problems.

RE: [U2] OT: PCL6 Codes?
Solved, though not the way I wanted: The printer comes with an HTML interface which I've never seen. This printer is USB connected to an XP Pro station. http://127.0.0.1:5225/ToolboxManager/deviceRegistry is how you access it using IE on the localhost. (127.0.0.1 always = localhost, btw). The driver sucks off PCL codes and prints the default setting, which is now changed (in setup, PCL, and lock courier, 17.5 cpi). That makes some reports a bit too small, however, it will now work. Why do manufacturers make things so 'user-friendly' that they are no longer programmer-friendly? Too many experiences lately (ActionTEC gt701wg for DSL, as an example) with that sort of thing to be bothered anymore.
