According to Hp's web site, the P1505N is both host based and pcl5e
combatable.

Look at the pdf of the full specs.

Caution: This does not mean that it has all of the pcl fonts of the older
models such as my 6P.  One client purchased a 2010n and found it only came
with minimal internal pcl fonts.  He had to purchase a font card from Hp for
an additional $60.00 to get all of the fonts he had in his older laser
printer.

It is getting more and more difficult to find inexpensive Hp printers with
PCL5 support and a full set of scalable fonts.  These cheap laser printers
are more like early dot matrix printers, few scalable fonts and some fixed
pitch fonts.
