try the following: listfile [log in to unmask],2      you should see (at least)
these files listed...

PCLELITD
PCLELITE
PCLLP
PCLLPD
PCLPOST

if you list the entire contents of .hpenv.sys, you should see alot of PENV files
-- ignore them :-)  the pcl files, however, contain laser jet escape sequences.
for what you asking, i'd start with pclelite and see what you think.  you can
always create your own environment file(s) if you don't like the standard
collection from hp.  we have a file that we attach globally that simply contains
<esc>E -- to reset the printer.  i believe the collection of laser jet escape
codes is available at hp's web site.     hth            - d
