Good Day TechyV!
Does anyone of you is familiar with the UNIX PCL Code? Â Can anyone please tell me what are the PCL commands and how they are used in Unix systems? What comprises a PCL code for printing using the HP PCL 6 printers? Can anyone please give me guidance? Your help will be very helpful.
Thanks!Â

Hello Amarion,
Printer Command Language (or PCL or PCL commands) is a set of commands developed by HP as a protocol to be followed by printers while performing printing tasks.
PCL 1 was the first release in1984 followed by PCL 1+, PCL 2, PCL 3, PCL 3+, PCL 3GUI, PCL 4, PCL 5 and PCL 6 which is the latest in the league.
These versions are a result of the evolving printing technology.
A complete list of PCL 6 commands with complete description for use with UNIX platform is available here.
Hope you find this useful.
