Hi Paul, thanks for sticking with me on this. Actually, I found many occurrences of "&l" in the example you posted. Not sure how one can tell which one indicates a tray number. Do you have a Savin 9935? Can you just "install" a printer you don't actually have and use a driver for it? How do I change to use the PCL5e driver? db > -----Original Message----- > From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx / Paul Tykodi > Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 4:19 PM > > Hi Dan, > > HP's Printer Control Language (PCL) is about 20 years > old.
