Thanks for the response. I tried running with raw option and got the same result as all other attempts: The first line of the PCL file printed, then nothing but blanks. The printer is currently configured as an HP Jet Direct using socket://hostname and with driver Generic PCL 5c Printer/Foomatic/ljet4 (en).

Also, we are in the middle of migrating our systems from AIX to Linux. If I take a Linux generated PCL file, move it to an AIX box and print using "lp -d <printer> <filename> I get correct output. The AIX box is not using CUPS.
