Slight clarification.  Jeff is correct that the CIPER protocol was
responsible for PLR in the HPIB printers.  The 256x printers do not
support PJL (I think this is what Jeff meant to say), hence the network
printing spooler cannot support PLR on them.

I don't know, but I'll pass your question on to someone who does.
