unsupported personality :PCL

how to resolve this with reboot and solve thois parmanent



Sorry for my bad english

The solution to this problem is documented here -->http://openprinting.org/show_printer...-LaserJet_1010

Read carefully the edited notes.

hello friend
i read the content of your link, after that i download a "pxlmono" ppd file
but one confusion, this pxlmono install on my print server or on per client
if it use for client so how to add a ppd file on window machine.
one more question, if i install a printer than i choose only ppd file, not use by default linux inbuilt driver for hplaserjet 1010
first time when i installed my printer on server i was choose by default inbuilt driver from myself linux machine.


Sorry for my bad english

i'm using these packages(version) on linux server
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.1
ghostscript-8.63-1
hplip-1.6.7-4.1.el5

I would have to be installed on the server, and any linux clients, if you choose this driver over the HPLIP driver. Windoze clients would install the widoze driver supplied by HP, or one included with windbloze.

Not sure what you are asking here. Can you clarify.

hello friend camorri,
actully friend i have local usb hp laserjer 1010 printe, this printer is share with RHEL 5.0 machine for my local network ,
In my network some user using MS window7, XP, Vista and some user using linux RHEL-5.0
My problem is that in some time my printer is automatically down, when ever my MS Window user send a request to get a printout then they got a million blank pages with one message on each pages.
unsupported personality :PCL
it automaticlly resolve after reboot the machine without reboot its not fix.
how to resolve this permanently with reboot...

Same thing still.


Problem you are having is that printer is receiving PCL language for printing, but HP-1010 and HP-1012 DO NOT UNDERSTAND PCL language completely. So you must set it to avoid PCL language and use alternative page description.

You can also go to this site and try driver found there, first on only one RHEL printer server. It does not say specifically for HP1010, but it should be inside the package.

hello Drlove,
my problem is still now, but only with window machine....
i install the orignal driver from hp site but its still now
and one thing more what is PCL language ????
my window user send a job by microsoft word 2007.....

PCL stands for Printer Control Language. I believe HP developed it.

Windows client will only send page description to Linux server, so problem will be the same.

All I can do to help is to again direct you to http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ as in my last post, or to suggest that you hook up printer to Windows machine or to acquire different printer like HP-1020 or his replacement.

I was fighting a lot with this bull%$^%$^ printer hp laserjet 1010.
Problem was error message printed on each page (after 17-18 pages send to queue)

"Unsupported Personality: PCL"
or
"Unsupported Personality: PCLX"

I tried pxl1010 but without success.

Also I have tried to remove cups and use lpd but I had some problems with spool directory access
and proper /etc/printcap file content (which I found here: slash slash inferno.slug.org/wiki?Ghostscript_Print_Filter)

finally I have used following package - gutenprint-5.0.1-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm



and this solved problem (at least for now)
