>Wouldn't that produce a PCL 5 print file? I thought you had to have a >"P" in the name of a Hewlett Packard printer for it to be PostScript >compatible. Not necessarily. The Laserjet 4M+, for instance, had no "P" and was both PCL and PostScript compatible. Furthermore, there were (or are) upgrade option kits, too. The problem wih a *.prn file is that it doesn't give you *any* clue whatsoever about what kind of file it is. If, for instance, you print to a PostScript printer on "FILE" from M$ Word, it won't let you specify any other extension than *.prn at all (and if you try to be wise and specify a filename like "filename.ps", Word will rename it to "filename.ps.prn"... One way of tackling the problem would be to look at the file in a text editor capable of reading large files (notepad probably won't do) and trying to find the file format from the header.
