PCL XL error

Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: EndChar
Position: 438


I have been having some trouble with my printer not reading what I'm asking it to print. We had to reset it to Factory Settings, and it's been doing fine. Today I was printing business cards and changed the paper to feed from tray 1 -- manual feed. It did a couple, then the above message began appearing on everything I've sent.

Did you reinstall the printer drivers on the pc? I have found that if you are having difficulty with a printer which uses a pcl 6 driver, if you change it to pcl 5 driver it usually solves the problem. You do get a loss of functionality though but it is usually only with the advanced settings which most people dont take advantage of anyway. HP pcl6 drivers are very often buggy.

Sounds like a driver issue. Go to:

and download the driver; then uninstall and reinstall the printer using the downloaded driver.

I had a similar problem with the PCL driver. I fixed it by installing the "HP Universal Printing PS" driver instead.
