PCL5e is a sort of "PCL5 lite" and does not support most of the normal
PCL5 fonts. This was just discussed on this list the other day. Ken
White posted the following information:
The 2015DN has a crippled font set. It requires a memory / font card
which
is available from HP. They will send you the card if the printer is in
it's
warrantee period. With the card installed it works well with a standard
pcl
5 print driver.
