NB-
I used a couple of these printers at work several years ago. They were
connected to Ethernet and fed by a Windows server, although I printed to
them directly using AppleTalk. I'm not aware that any of the users
stressed them as much as you might with Illustrator.
PCL is HP's proprietary Printer Control Language. I don't know of any
Apple drivers that work with it. I think you're limited to PostScript
from the Mac. I believe there is an option in the setup menu for PCL,
PostScript or Automatic. You can choose PostScript if you are the only
one printing to it, but Automatic will allow use with PCL as well.
If there is any hope for use with your Illustrator, it would be by
adding memory to the machine. Even older machines I've used, would
choke on complex images unless their memory was increased.
