There ain't no such thing as standard when it comes to printers.
You're probably talking about Epson ESC/2 codes and HP's don't support
those.
Then you've got the issue of which HP printer you've got. Most support
some variant of PCL (all which are different), some support other
command codes only/too.
Give us an example of bold etc text and tell us what printer you've
got.
Otherwise you're problem is akin to telling us "my sparkplug is
wrong"?
