  Hi! My problem concerns mode switching on a HP LaserJet II
with an Adobe PostScript cartridge.

  At present, to switch between PCL and PostScript modes I have to
use the printer control panel which as you can guess is a pain.
Ideally I want to do this remotely using software. I can get from
PCL to PS OK by sending a short escape sequence. However the 
PostScript file we have on our system intended to change from
PS to PCL doesn't appear to work; it is:


     serverdict begin 0 exitserver
     statusdict begin 1 setsoftwareiomode
     end


  I don't have access to the cartridge manual so I can't figure out why
the printer stays in PS mode. Any help with this problem would be
terrific.

  Cheers!
