2. With some attempts at printing (a single page) the printer outputs: PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL ) HP-PCL XL;1;1;Comment Artifex Software Occasionally, turning the printer off and on after this error will result in the page being printed correctly Using the troubleshooting suggestions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_printer_does_not_print_or_prints_garbage gives the above error message with option 1. Using Option 2 the printer outputs PCL XL error Subsystem: KERNEL Error: MissingData Operator: ReadImage Position: 12 <Rest of the page failed to print - unrelated printer jam> The lsusb commands gives: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05ac:8403 Apple, Inc.
