The "scrambling" behavior varies between drivers and between versions of
Windows. We had to use special tricks to handle this in the SwiftView product.
Sometimes the scrambling isn't really scrambling, but a simple offset of all
the codes. In those cases you can just reverse the offset to recover the ASCII
codes. If that's not possible you will need to locate a driver that doesn't
scramble.
I'd start by looking at the stock HP Laserjet 4000.

Subject: [WinPrnDev] Driver that produces PCL that is searchable for text
My application needs a PCL5 print driver that produces a print
stream that is searchable for text. All the drivers we have tested
map text using Truetype fonts in such a way that the original
text is not preserved. Is there a PCL5 driver that assigns the
glyphs to character codes that are ASCII?
