I think that it is extremely unlikely that the LaserJet 1022n printer supports the Naskh font. It may or may not support the HP-GL/2 'subset' of the PCL5 language. If it does have 26 internal fonts, I'd guess that these are mainly bitmap fonts, with perhaps a few of the (old) Intellifont...

As the name implies, the PCL Paraphernalia tools are primarily concerned with PCL languages (PCL5 (PCL) or PCL6 (PCL XL)). The tools don't generate HP-GL/2 commands, but the Printer Languages tool provides a brief list of (known) HP-GL/2 names. As regards the parameters for the HP-GL/2 AD or...

The situation regarding the (quite old)- LaserJet 1022n is a bit confusing; according to the User Guide manual: The description does indicate that 26 PCL fonts are available, but it also states that the printer uses a host-based driver. With host-based systems, all of the rendering is done...

The LaserJet Pro MFP M176n does not support PCL5 or PCL6 (PCL XL), so I'm somewhat confused by your reference to a PCL6 driver. The printer only understands PCLm (which is not related to PCL5 or PCL XL at all). Here is the beginning of a 'captured' PCLm print job, as displayed by NotePad...

Jim is spot on with his diagnosis of why 'print' via NotePad (etc.) doesn't work - it will try to treat it as text, and add its own printer control sequences. According to the datasheet, the only Page Description Language supported by the LaserJet Pro MFP M176n is PCLm - this is based on a...

Yes - when you are using pattern fills (other than black or white with rectangular area graphics), the source and pattern transparency settings can make quite a difference to the output. ... and when you also consider setting different ROP values (using <Esc>*l#O), it all gets very complicated...

Jim I don't know what <Esc>*v101T does - the only # values I'm aware of are 1, 2, 3, and 4 for this "select current pattern" sequence. But I don't think that pattern selection is required, since I'm using rectangular area graphics, and selecting (firstly) "black fill", then (for the second...

To illustrate some of the differences, a small sample print job: Downloads a very simple PCL macro (with identifier 501) which draws a black rectangle, overlaid with a smaller white rectangle; the macro contains no absolute positioning. Sets a position, then calls the macro, then writes some...

>> ... the overlay is put on top of your data operationally and not the other way around. Sometimes that matters ... Not always true, Jim. Macros can be invoked using call or execute, or automatic overlay. With the first two of these, the required macro is selected on a page by-page basis...

Most of that (quite long) thread which you refer to was (very briefly) describing how to use the PCL 'draw rectangle' escape sequences to draw boxes. In order to set this up as what you refer to as a 'template', you need to make use of PCL macros, as Jim Asman states in one of his later...

According to the User Guide manual:

>> ... I haven't found a command to direct the printer to use a stapler in a different corner (if there is one) ... The parameters to the PJL SET command appear to vary from model to model, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation available (the old PJL Technical Reference...

>> ... would you happen to know how to access a Multi-function HP LaserJet printer's Faxing capability using PCL or PJL? ... No idea, sorry. I doubt that either of these 'languages' are anything to do with the faxing mechanism at all.

I don't think that HP has published any general PCL or PJL technical manuals since the early/mid 1990s. I did find some documentation regarding PJL commands for Stapling and/or Hole Punching with LaserJet M806/M830/M855/M880 devices - the PJL commands are quite different to the ones you are...

According to the PJL Technical Reference manual: The UEL command at the beginning of the job must be immediately followed by the PJL command prefix (@PJL). No other characters, including control characters, are allowed between the UEL command and the @PJL prefix. So the LineFeed characters...

@Pascal666: >> ... Is the program you used to generate that listing publicly available? ... The PRN File Analyse tool in the PCL Paraphernalia application, available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu >> ... 0L maps to PCL Line Draw-7 and appears to be part of the default PCL symbol set ...

I didn't understand the reference to "0xDD (left half block)" at first, until I realised that the "Left Half Block" character (Unicode code-point U+258C) is mapped to hexadecimal DD (decimal 221) in some of the old DOS code-pages (such as CP 437 - "DOS Latin US" - I think that this is the...

The method you have adopted (printing the same data on successive lines, with line-spacing set to achieve a zero-leading) is what I would have recommended. Unless (as was implied by Jim Asman's comment) the font you are using has special (non-standard) 'parameters' to adjust relative height...

I think that some modern printers write data to the chip in the toner cartridge, so that (for example): If a cartridge is used in one printer, that printer's serial number is written to the chip. If the cartridge is then loaded into another printer, that printer may report a 'used toner' (I...

The PRN File Analyse tool in the PCL Paraphernalia (Windows) application (available via this web page) can provide analyses of 'captured' PCL5 and PCL XL print jobs; the 'Show Analysis Statistics' option will provide a summary of the various objects encountered. Example of (part of ) analysis...
