I know quite a bit of HP PCL 5 (I did a freelance project targetting it :-) so am happy to answer some PCL 5 questions from time to time; however I'm not the right person to ask about printcap filters, Tex, apsfilter etc. To learn about the HP2 & 3 series, & PCL5. I reccomend "HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual" It cost me 45 Deutsche Mark in Sept '91. It has no ISBN, publisher is HP. I ordered it at the shop that sold me the laser printer. --- Julian Stacey Tel. +49 89 268616. Fax Modem: 2608126 Vector Systems Ltd: an Internet, Unix & C systems consultancy.
