I cannot seem to setup my printer so that it will print #6 envelopes. I set up the custom paper size and can see it selected both in printer preferences as well as in the print preview when getting ready to print. A page prints with an error message of PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: SetColorSpace
Position: 3
I'm using Windows 11 and printing from MS Publisher

The Root of the Problem
Your PCL XL error (IllegalOperatorSequence) usually means there’s a driver issue or some compatibility problem.

2. Restart your computer.
3. Reinstall the latest driver from HP website.
