Hello all,
  
    I am doing some HP LaserJet programming and need some help.  If a better
forum exists please let me know.
    I am looking for people who are experienced in PCL4 quirks. Here is my
current problem.  I want to download a new font in the middle of printing 
a page.  I issue some cursor commands, output text, draw a box,etc
and then I want to download a new font. For some reason the printer eject
the current page when I download my new font.  I cant figure out why. It
seems to work fine if I download all my fonts before I start the actual text.
I cannot do this however because the fonts are subject to change along the
way.
