votes up vote 2 down vote accepted Related question: PCL XL Error The problem lies in the usage of PCL6 drivers. It is likely that Windows XP does not support the drivers perfectly and thus causes errors (Illegal Media Source means that it tries to fetch paper from a tray that doesn't exist). PCL5e has been around for longer and doesn't have such issues. Bottom line: use PCL5e over PCL6 if you encounter problems. share|improve this answer answered Aug 13 '13 at 7:51 Sašo 1,1991611 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote It could well be drivers, however most posts I've seen suggested you shut-down your printer and cold start it up (remove AC power) This worked for me. share|improve this answer answered Feb 11 '15 at 9:33 user269836 1 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

Posted on July 20, 2012 dspate Registered user Joined: April 2, 2012 So Whoneyman's zoom and fit to print option worked for a few printers. I stil have http://www.unidesk.com/forum/troubleshooting/application-configuration-and-compatibility/pcl-xl-errors-when-printing an HP CLJ 4700 that still spits out the PCL XL error illegal media size error. Any thoughts from anyone esle? How does everyone else implement printers in their enviroment? Darren Spatredspate@fcoe.org Posted on August 10, 2012 Rob Lasky Registered user Joined: September 28, 2010 We also were getting the PCL XL error pages being generated on many of our HP printers along with odd margin issues. What we ended up doing was creating Unidesk app layers with universal print driver and the printerinstalled locally in them.It's no different than installing the printer locally as admin on the personalizaton layer, which was our workaround for a little while before I got the layers built. Resolved all the issues with HP printers. We have a few different layers that contain printers for specific departments, so we just assign printers to usersthat way. The only thing that doesnt seem to work is setting the defaultprinter. But we had problems with that before when deploying by login script. We are still using our print server for our Ricoh copiers. The Ricoh's work fine as shared printers on the Unidesk desktops.

This doesn't apply to this problem. We are using the 32 bit and 64 bit UPD PCL (v5.1) driver from HPs web site. This is happening on a CLJ 4700 and a CLJ 2550. I have deleted the printers and recreated them pcl xl error on the server to be sure nothing was left behind. When my boss and two other employees print to the same printer using the same driver and setting from the server they get the PCL XL error illegal Media Size error on the following page. On the non working PCs I have gone into server properties and removed all other drivers and installed the driver from the server and verified it is working but it still prints that second page with the error. When most people print using the driver from the server it doesn't print the extra page with the error. This happens when printing a self test with in Windows 7 Devices and Printers so it isn't an application issue. We have tested PDFs, Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher files and they all print the second page with the error on the non working PCs. The UPD PS (v5.1) driver doesn't generate the error so I added that as an option but they didn't seem to like scrolling to a different printer. The self test for the non working PCs prints the section "If you can

I am printing to a printer that is connected to another PC and is shared. No one else in my office gets this error. I only get it when printing from MS Word. MS Excel, Outlook, etc. print fine.
