PCL Printing Status
To view your printer’s status, open the HP LaserJet 5L PCL Printer group within Program Manager and select Status Window. As shown in Figure 3-4 below, the status window reports your printer’s current status. In this case, the printer is Ready.

PCL Printing Status
As with the host-based software, the PCL software has its own, unique status window, but both windows cannot be active at the same time. To use both drivers, see “Using Host-Based and PCL Drivers Together” below.
Using Host-Based and PCL Drivers Together
Occasionally conflicts may arise between the host-based and PCL drivers’ status windows, and an error message may appear. Should this occur, you can disable one of the drivers using one of the following three methods:
∙Turn off the PCL software status window by selecting Device Options, No Status from the PCL Printer Settings window.
∙Remove either the PCL or host-based software by selecting Main, Control Panel, Printers from Program Manager and then deleting the printer driver.
∙Select HP 5L Uninstall from the HP LaserJet 5L Printer Group in Program Manager.
