[WEB4LIB] PCL XL error

[Dale Goodell - WOU Library]

I had to deal with a similar error message on three HP LaserJet 5M printers 
that we put into service about four years ago.

The solution for me was to only install the Standard Windows 9x driver that 
came with the printer (not the Enhanced or Postscript driver).  Once I had 
the Standard driver installed, I then configured it to print only 300 dpi (600 
dpi resulted in the error also).

I had very little luck with HP technical support in resolving this problem.

I realize this defeats part of the purpose of having a high-end printer, but 
these were the only things that solved the problem for me for this particular 
printer.

I haven't seen this particular error since that time.
