@SunFamily, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
The PCL XL Error: Illegal Operator Sequence typically indicates a communication or driver-related issue between the printer and the Windows print subsystem. Since you've already updated the driver, here are a few additional steps to help resolve the issue:

 

Switch to a Different Print Driver

Sometimes the default PCL6 driver can cause issues. Try switching to the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) or PostScript (PS) driver:

• Download the latest HP Universal Print Driver from the HP Driver Support Page.
• Choose PostScript or PCL5 version during installation.
• After installation, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, right-click your printer, and select Printer Properties > Advanced, then choose the newly installed driver from the drop-down.

Disable Advanced Printing Features

• Go to Devices and Printers.
• Right-click your printer > Printer Properties > Advanced tab.
• Uncheck Enable advanced printing features.
• Click Apply and OK.

Print Directly to the Printer

• In the same Advanced tab, select Print directly to the printer instead of Spool print documents.

Update Firmware

Ensure your printer firmware is up to date:

• Visit the HP Firmware Update Page.
• Download and install the latest firmware for your model.

Try Printing a Local File

To isolate the issue, try printing a document saved locally (not from the network drive). If it works, the issue may be related to network permissions or file corruption.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
