Can I print a PCL file with Print Wizard?

Yes, Print Wizard version 3.0 or later supports printing a PCL file directly. The question may be one of what level of PCL is the file in and whether your printer supports PCL. If you are printing to a non-PCL printer, and the PCL codes are for version PCL 5 or earlier, you can turn on "translatepcl" with a command-line switch (or via a "print profile") and Print Wizard will translate this to your specific printer. If you are printing to a PCL printer, and the file contains PCL 5 or earlier, you can either print this direct or with the "translatepcl" command-line switch. If you are printing a PCL 6 or later file, you need to print this to a PCL 6 or later printer driver as it will not work with a PCL 5 or earlier driver, not can Print Wizard handle the translation to a normal printer driver. This means that you cannot print PCL 6 on a non-PCL printer currently.
