Jay,

Checked the HP web-site for this spec's on this printer.  No PCL.

See:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-236251-236268-15077-f51-

Now it may be that someone wrote a Linux driver that emulates the windows
drive for this printer.  But it is not PCL.  The LaserJet 3800 has a
postscript emulation mode.
