Hi, we got the same problem here when we trying to print a SQR report on a NT Server machine on a HP LaserJet 4050 printer. We've installed the latests drivers from HP and the SP4 for NT. But our message differ a little bit from yours, PCL XL error Subsystem: KERNEL Error: IllegalStreamHeader Operator: 0x0 Position: 0 If anyone know whats the problem is.. we think that might be about PCL-x compatibility but we're not able to get the problem precisely. So please, if you have something, email directly to me.. thanks

ISSUE: XL error page prints out on the printer when printing using the PCL6 XL (Enhanced) driver. Example: PCL XL Error Subsystem: KERNEL Error: IllegalOperatorSequence Operator: SetColorSpace Position: 52 WORKAROUND: Perform the following suggestions: Verify printer functionality Turn off the printer, then unplug the Parallel, Serial, or Network data cable from the back of the HP LaserJet Family printer. This will ensure that the information is not being received from the computer. Turned on the HP LaserJet Family printer and verify that the word "Ready" appears in the printer display. Print a Self-Test on the HP LaserJet Family printer. To print a Self-Test, perform the following steps: Go to the control panel on the printer. Press the "Menu" key until "INFORMATION MENU" appears in the printer display. Press the "Item" key until "PRINT MENU MAP" appears on the printer display. Press the "Select" button. The printer should generate a print job. NOTE: If garbled characters or symbols appear on the Self-Test or a Self-Test is not produced after performing the following steps, have the printer serviced.
