>>If SET PRINTER FONT doesn't work in this case, you could create a file with the necessary PCL (printer control language) commands in it, then either send that file before sending your pfile or prepend that file to your pfile and send it in one step. If your printer's user manual doesn't have the necessary escape code sequences (PCL commands), get a copy of the HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. It's a good investment IMHO.

As long as you stick to the basics you'll probably be OK. Almost all models of HP printers will accept the same basic PCL commands, as do many other brands of printers. It's when you start getting into more advanced, model-specific stuff that you need to be concerned about differences between models. I'd try to get it working on one printer, then try it with others and see what you get.
