PJL? What HP printer model did you configure the driver for?
A lot of HP laser printers understand PCL, and the less-cheap ones
also understand PS.

If you pick the PS version of an HP driver (the one I often use is
"HP LaserJet IIIp Postscript") you'll get postscript out. The IIIp
driver only emits grayscale postscript, though.
