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.
Hi,
It's been a while since I had to adjust printer settings in cups.
I just checked I think the procedure is:
open:
localhost:631
in a browser on the computer.
Go to the printers tab.
Click modify printer.
Keep the same path to the printer (usb or tcp or whatever)
then click next
keep the same name for the printer click next,
on the 3rd screen there will be a selection of drivers or filters you
can choose
In my case there are a half dozen options that match my printer, also it
is possible to supply a .ppd file there which specifies additional settings.
In my case I see some of the options mention PCL, others mention other
languages or drivers.
I recommend you try the options that match the model number of your
printer or look on the web for the latest ppd file for your printer.
For example I see on the following possible drivers for my printer:

And I think all 5 (possibly with more variations are available on my
system).
