view permanent macros on printer
I was wondering if their is a way to view/print all of the permanent macros on a printer? ~ Thanks -
Raster Data
Sorry, the last PCL file was the wrong one. I linked the PCL file below that I was originally talking about. When I tried splitting the colors into there own commands as showed in my previous post it didn't work for me (I'm assuming that's my own fault) and rendered the file I attached in the... -
Raster Data
I'm now using the following format like you suggestion <esc>*b150V Data (cyan layer) <esc>*b150V Data (magenta layer) <esc>*p150W Data (yellow layer) I'm seeing the same results. The link to my PCL file can be found below. http://www.mediafire.com/?r99sld657a57mwc -
Raster Data
How do raster images work on non CID supporting printers? Would you mind if I emailed you the PCL file? All file sharing websites are blocked. -
Raster Data
I have a small PCL file (Google's logo) that I've converted to PCL. The structure of the PCL is below. I've been able to get the image to print out correctly to a Kyocera FS-4020DN, SHARP MX-M503N, and one other printer that I don't currently have access to. When I print this Image to a HP... -
HP Photosmart D110 - Telnet Issues
I've had this printer boxed up for a little over a year now. I started working on a project where I'm planning on getting some use out of it. I was able to get everything hooked up without a problem. I'm able to print through wireless. I did a ping from my laptop to obtain the IP address and...- srwatson

Determine encoding of text
Thanks, I'm interesting in knowing more about some of this. Do you know where I could learn more about the changes from PCL4 to PCL5? Also, I'd also be interesting in knowing what other PCL is now deprecated. Is this documented some where? -
Determine encoding of text
I wasn't aware that HP didn't have a concept of EBCDIC. The information provided above was useful. You mentioned previously that the fonts used in the file are format-0 bitmap. Do you mind elaborating a bit on that? Is it possible the PCL in this file is PCL4? -
Determine encoding of text
I attached a zip file in my previous post. If you can't view the attachment here is a link to the zip file https://github.com/downloads/born2snipe/street/encoding.zip -
Determine encoding of text
I've attached two small files. I replaced all of the original text with asterisks for security reasons. I used asterisk-ebcdic.pcl as input file. I'm wondering if there is away to scan the input file programatically and determine it's encoding. Currently the parser has to be told the encoding of... -
Determine encoding of text
The PCL commands above were used as an example. I'm looking for a programatic solution to determine the encoding of a PCL file. The application I'm working on currently parses and processes ASCII and EBCDIC files. After the file has been manipulated it's written back to the file system as ASCII... -
Determine encoding of text
Is there away to determine the encoding of text in a PCL file? Lets say I have two PCL files. The first one prints 'Hello World!' and it's encoding is ASCII. The second file I have prints 'I love pie!' and it's encoding is EBCDIC. (esc) *p99XHello World! (esc) *p99XÉ@“—‰…Z Is there away to... -
Combined command w/ data
I was wondering if some printers allow PCL commands with data to be combined. For example could the following Ec *r1A Ec *b0M Ec *b2M__ Ec *b2M__ Ec *rC Be written as Ec *r1A Ec *b0M Ec *b2m2M____ Ec *rC I wasn't sure if the printer would read the first two bytes... -

Lowercase Terminator
Or I guess the better question would be why is the HP driver not following the HP specification for PCL command structure?
