Using Default PCL XL Fonts
Important
The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.
For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.
If you want to include the standard PCL XL fonts, you should include the standard resource DLL, pclxl.dll, that is part of the cab file. The following line, which should appear in the GPD, uses the *ResourceDLL attribute to specify the resource DLL to be used.
*ResourceDLL: "pclxl.dll"
