Not forgetting the cost of the new PS printer if you don't have one.
I wish I had made it clear from the start that I was attempting to
print via PCL to a RISC OS compatible non PS printer.
Leaving aside all the discussion about PS drivers, I find pdf files
will print text via PCL from a Pi but not from a Panda. No PS driver
is involved in this. Printing via PS to a PS printer may be an
excellent way round the problem but it does not trace its source or
cure it. Anyway enough from me - I'm withdrawing.
