Re: PCL Error

I'll bet that the version of pclxl.dll that HP shipped with one of their
drivers got replaced with the inbox pclxl when another printer that uses the
driver was installed. Basically the functions HP added for the printer was
removed then the inbox driver file is used. You can experiment on which
version of the file you want to use. Normally HP does not remove existing
driver functionality, they only add.
