"hplaser" or "hp-5"
hp-5 will probably be the closest and include the most features that this 
printer can do, but hplaser will be safer. hplaser is sort of a least common 
denominator with fewer codes in it, but they are all going to work on any 
pcl printer regardless of manufacturer. There may be possible exeptions but 
it's pretty hard to find a printer that understands pcl at all that doesn't 
know all of the codes in the "hplaser" table. This includes the hp inkjets 
that only do pcl-3, even they work.
