Need Reference - PJL

Could anyone tell me off a good reference, a book or somewhere on-line,
where I can get a good programmer's internal look at how the Windows OS
handles printing?

Particularly, I'm looking to find out exactly how PJL headers end up on
print jobs.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

for PCL/PJL documents take a look to
http://www.joachimdeussen.de/pclcorner/well%20formed%20datastreams.pdf
or some other links in pclcorner.

For "disassembling" PCL-Files you can use dumppcl
http://www.techknowsystems.com/data/dumppcl.zip

Here is an example-output
; Disassembly of <output.pcl>
<Esc>%-12345X Exit language/Start PJL
{@PJL COMMENT HP LaserJet 5Si<LF>
@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT=OFF<LF>
@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT=AUTO<LF>
@PJL SET ECONOMODE=OFF<LF>
@PJL SET RET=ON<LF>
@PJL SET RESOLUTION=600<LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL<LF>
.... PCL-Codes
<Esc>E Reset
<Esc>%-12345X Exit language/Start PJL
