Richard,

The 7740 supports PCL3GUI(no use to filepro) and PCL3e which should be
quite suitable and I would think the printer would use the appropriate
one based on context.

If the code you show is actually cut from the real processing, then your
qq variable is way to short to accommodate the data being assigned to it.
Also, there are a couple of "*" missing as well.

It us usually far more telling to show the actual fp output when trying to
debug PCL issues like this. When we have the actual PCL code that failed, it
is very easy and quick to edit that code and reprint to sort it out.
