I guess the problem is more simpler than Dov mentioned. HP always use Adobe Certified PostScript . but some how I feel is it is page layout problem !! or driver problem .. not the firmware inside the printer. that's why the PCL driver printed OK . try to use Adobe Driver and use the PPD for Hp LaserJet 8100 printer . or even use Generic PS Printer and your job will be printed OK .
