Hi,
We want to print on WinCE 5.0 with HP 1320 printer which has PCL version 6.
We previously tried HP 1020 and 1218 printers, and 1020 didn't print(because
it has no PCL support) and 1218 printed(it has PCL version 3).

But 1320 didn't print although it has PCL 6 support and it correctly sees
the USB Printer(when we connect USB it shows the ADD LPT1: message). My
questions are these: 1)What is the PCL version number of Windows CE pcl.dll?
2)Is it possible (in principle) to print on HP 1218 USB laserjet printer, I
mean does WinCE 5.0 support this printer?

CE is PCL3, and probably not fully featured at that.

So, does Windows CE 5.0 work only with PCL 3.0 and not the upper versions?
I mean, why couldn't we print on HP 1320? Is it because of the driver
version or another problem?

Any help is appreciated...Thanks...
