- anyfoo 3y agoPrinter Common Language. More an alternative to PostScript than to PDF, in that it's a language that a lot of printers understand (as the name suggests).
- kjs3 3y agoNo, it's HP Printer Command Language[1]; it's the 'native tongue' of things like HP LaserJets. It predates and is different from PS and PDF[2] and isn't an alternative for PDF in that you don't store documents 'in PCL'.
