Hi,

Only those with JCL in the PPD. And I just checked:
$ /usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp list | wc -l
1184

... but only some 200 have '^*JCL' in their ppd's and only 175 have 
^*JCLToPSInterpreter. There are *very* old printers among these. Most of 
these printers will happily print PCL and I'm not sure people try to 
dive into the source for problems like this.

Yes it is...

Thank you for looking into this! (I added the PPD to the bug report)

Best regards,

Valentijn
