** Description changed:

  The printer is identified correctly and the pxlmono driver is suggested.
- If I don't touch any setting once the printer is added, I can print
- stuff just fine. Except that I use A4 paper not letter but if I change
- to A4 in the printer settings then the fun begins. the printer may or
- may not print correctly and it usually happens that it does not and
- spits out garbage.
+ Getting it to print is the big problem and it's just guesswork when it
+ will works and when it will not. Usually it just spits out garbage
  
  When it does that, the first page that comes out has this on it
  
  "PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL
-                                                            )   HP-PCL XL;1;1; 
Comment  Copyright Artifex Software"
+                                                            )   HP-PCL XL;1;1; 
Comment  Copyright Artifex Software"
  
  And then it proceeds to empty the tray and every page that comes out has
  a bit of garbage printed at the top. I've tried switching driver to
  ljet4 and some others but none solved my issue
