Well, the fact that it prints at all is a good sign that it's not one of 
those "host-based" ink squirters.

What type of printer did it replace, and what printer type have you told 
filePro to use?

Unfortunately, despite it not being "host-based", it doesn't look good that 
you'll find a landscape mode print code.

Note that PCL6 is "PCL" in name only, and is incompatible with all previous 
versions of PCL.
