Depends on the printer model you have. Very low end models like hplj1200 or 1300 have very limited memory and very limited processing power. The printer does not support the full PCL 5 or 6 standard and the printer driver on the client machine is used to basically create bitmaps from the missing features. Depending on the features you use, this could be indeed completely translated into a bitmap. For such printers, there is not really a solution. You're basically fuched. JPedal has a Java library that supports viewing and printing. They introduced special print modes for PCL printers last year, so you might have more success using their code. But the problem remains: Those low end HP printers are, sorry, basically crap. The higher end models with more memory are better suited for that task.
