On the contrary, it helps to keep the thread in a clearer state for prospective users that later read the thread. > 2. I'd rather not repeat myself on multiple threads.

Well, yes, that's what I meant but better than choosing PCL is using a PostScript driver, it will provide the best results for your printouts. > Therefore, the bug is in the "HP LaserJet p2055dn pcl3, hpcups 3.10.6 > (color, 2-sided printing) driver" (?).
