Yes I do use a different separator page for my 4250 than my 4200 for some reason it didn't matter if I used pcl5 or 6 it wanted slightly different code. This is the 3rd time in my time using hp's I have had have a different separator page. Thanks for the feedback. And just FYI not a lick of issues with this printer

Tray 3 selection not working Anthony, Bob A participant on the QM list serv recently had this to say regarding a problem someone else was having printing to an HP 2100 series PCL 6 printer: -------QM list msg ---- I don't know if PCL6 is supported or not but I do know that HP make a HUGE change going to PCL6 and it is NOT backwards compatible and does not support the old Escape sequences that drove prior versions of PCL. We have had lots of problems with old programs that pushed PCL Escape sequences out to printers. ----end QM list msg---- Is it possible that the HP 4250 printer that Bob Utech is using is a PCL 6 printer and that he's sending it PCL 5 commands and that's why they're not working?
