    The HP web site directs me outside of HP to a Linux Imaging and Printing
web site.  That web site offers my some CUPS and other drivers, but doesn't
answer this question:  If I send a raw PCL print stream out from the Linux
box (not using any funky, unsupported Linux drivers that may be CUPS drivers
or whatever) then can the printer accept and print that PCL document?

Thanks,

Mike
