I often wondered why my HP Laser Jet 5550 and 8000 have "PCL6" in their descriptions shown in the Windows Print information of my computer. They both, of course, print to FilePro just fine.<br>

It's because what you see in the Windows description is the printer language that the Windows printer driver OUTPUTS. It may be one of several languages that the printer supports, which is why there are often multiple drivers available for the same printer.<br>
<br>
Note that filePro uses the driver at a very low level, transparently, so the driver's output language is irrelevant. What's important is what the printer can understand.<div><div class="h5"><br>

Correct. PCL6 is "compiled" not interpreted like PCL5.<br>

This is from our website and manuals.<br>

Printers specs must support one of the following...<br>
<br>
PCL-3<br>
PCL-5<br>
PCL-5c<br>
PCL-5d<br>
PCL-5e<br>
