what if you try:

then enter

followed by control-m control-j control-l

that should do a carriage return, newline, new page resulting in a page coming out
of the printer.

It does! A new blank page is "printed". Maybe it is not because the Ctrl-M
Ctrl+J Ctrl+L sequence is correctly parsed by the printer, but (just as
in previous tests) because a blank page is "printed" for any data I send
as plain text. If there's some more attempt I can make, let me know.

I think Brett was also hoping that the page that came out would have the text "test" written on it. Probably in the top left corner, with some reasonable size and font.

But it sounds as if you did not get such a text on the paper then...? Which would definitely confirm that it does not understand PCL.
