I recently acquired a HP C2089A Postscript Cartridge which I am
using with a HPLasterJet III printer.  I also use a PacificPage
Postscript Cartridge with HPLazerJet IIID printer.  I have been
told that the PacificPage cartridge can be software switched between
the PCL/HP-GL2 and Postscript by using ESCape sequences.  Likewise
the "User's guide" that came with my C2089A cartridge informed me
that software switching is possible, but it didn't give any
information about the control codes (escape sequences) that are
needed to do the job.

Can someone please post germane details or perhaps send me a model
interface routine for a unix environment containing an example
of how the software switching is done.

Thanks in advance,
