Ok. Let's see what other information I can provide. I was printing from the gimp. I looked at the printer setup, and it said that it was using lpr. As for the PCL, the first line was pretty short, and the second line did start indented. I don't recall if it started where the first ended, but if not, it was close to that. I couldn't see any further lines, but apparently there were more, as the printer kept spitting out pages...
