I've got a client that has a HP 855C and it speaks only HP PCL3 Scott -- End of Message For my 600C at home, I use a combination of a modified version of apsfilter and ghostscript-3.51. I get some great results printing both text and color. I don't have my patches to apsfilter available at the moment, but I needed to work around problems the filter had trying to "rewind" stdin on my 2.1-stable system.
