Postscript/PCL5 1

[bobkatevan]

Does anyone know if all HP Laserjet and Deskjet Printers are postscript/PCL5 able? I need to load a new system on my network and it requires all printers have this ability. To be honest, I can't even remember what postscript even is... Any information would be appreciated....

Yes, these printers are (all the LaserJets, some DeskJets).<br>
<br>
PostScript is an advanced page description laguage (used by programs and the printer to describe the creation of the page images on paper). PostScript was developed by Adobe.<br>
<br>
PCL is a page description language developed by HP. the 5 is the Version number.

Remember that Postscript usually creates much more network traffic than PCL drivers. This can have a negative impact on your network if you have many Postscript printers.
