Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately I couldn't find any setting about Postscript, PCL or such in CUPS, HPLIP and the usual Gnome utilities to manage printers. The only spot where I see something like what you say is from Libreoffice printer's details, File / Printer settings / Properties / Device / Printer language type. The choice is currently "Automatic: PDF", but I can choose also 3 level of Postscript or "Postscript: level from driver". I guess I should look also in some configuration file. Best regards. >
