Bug Description
The printer is identified correctly and the pxlmono driver is suggested. Getting it to print is the big problem and it's just guesswork when it will works and when it will not. Usually it just spits out garbage
When it does that, the first page that comes out has this on it
"PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL
And then it proceeds to empty the tray and every page that comes out has a bit of garbage printed at the top. I've tried switching driver to ljet4 and some others but none solved my issue. Printer used to work in previous versions of Ubuntu.
