PCL6 is the HP Printer Control Language, which means the printer is Laserjet 
compatible. Seeing as the printer supports PostScript (which is presumably 
what you'd be using with it), the PCL compatibility would be mainly for 
old(er) programs that know how to output to HP printers, but not to 
Postscript printers, if that makes any sense :-)

It's a good price for a laser printer; bear in mind it's going to have to be 
attached to the parallel port of your server - I don't think it'll accept a 
network card inside it.
