A little manual grovelling reveals bad news and (maybe) good news.  The
bad news is that there is so option on the printer, and no control code in
the manual.  The good news is that it supposedly *does* accept PCL level
3, contrary to my earlier post.  The reason that isn't necessarily such
good news is that the hpif filter, which is in the handbook and was also
mailed to me by some kind soul, doesn't work: the staircasing persists.
