Hey Mike,
I use PCL very heavily, looking at your code, may I suggest you move the order of you command so that the paper selection is the first command. You could also stick the &l1O with the &l6c2e66F
Where &l1o = orientation Landscape &l6c is 6/48"(8lpi) could also be &l8d, &l2e top margins 2 lines & &l66F is 66 lines/page
You can also issue an Esc E which resets to default everything - good to issue before begining (it will eject half printed pages) and also good at end to put printer back after all these changes.
I also use Esc &l0L which disable the automatic page Eject at 1/2 of the perfs. This allows our program to control the Skip, wich can be perform with a simple (FF). Most legacy program do a FF near end of page, using &l0L also negates the need to define the lorm length in lines.
Tray selection is also nice, but tricky as each model seems to have its own tray numbers... this is also true while using the Windoze drivers.
