Product: Laserjet 6MP
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi folks,

I have a Word printing issue that is a bit complex, but I think having the PCL driver might be a perfect workaround. My 6MP is on a virtual USB post with Postscript driver. Can I add the PCL driver to this same printer on the same port? If so, how and where to get the PCL driver?

 

Thanks!

yes, you just configure two printers, one PCL  and one PostScript.

Thanks. Tried that. Add printer, chose the same Virtual USB port then could not figure out how to add the PCL driver for this printer. Can you give me a little detail? Do I have to change the virtual port for the PCL driver even though the same cable?

 

Thanks so much.

Got it. Chose the same port, different driver. Seems to work. Thanks.
