PCL XL Error in HP Printer   
Hi

We are using WinXP Version 2002 SP2. We are getting the following error when 
printing to HP Laserjet 3055. 

PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: Illegal Tag
Operator: 0x1b
Position: 6

The printout is coming only from my laptop. My colleague's laptop shows this 
error. We have reinstalled the driver also. 

The driver version is 10.1.1.3; HPZid412.sys

Re: PCL XL Error in HP Printer   
You are along the right lines suspecting the driver.

This printer appears to be discontinued. However, here is the support page 
for that printer:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1161389&lang=en&cc=us

According to this, the latest version of the driver is 2.2.0.0000 1 Mar 
2007. Where are you seeing this version number? In HPZid412.sys VERSIONINFO? 
Anyway, it is possible this driver is newer than yours.

There is also a firmware update:

Windows XP Service Pack 3 may offer a compatibility fix, though I would 
guess it is unlikely. Or it may correct an OS installation problem, also 
unlikely.

You might try checking your settings. Are you using any unusual or advanced 
settings that you can try turning off? You could delete and re-add the 
printer to ensure you are getting default settings.
