Level 2 works on a 4039 10plus (don't know the difference between the two).
According to many people the reason the lexmark/ibm lazers are so cheap
(relatively) is that they developed their own in house postscript as opposed
to using adobe's, as most other manufacturers do.

My 10plus also supports pcl (Printer control language) level 3 (or some level)

This is my suggestion: use no filter, unless that doesn't work. if it doesn't
configure it as an hp lazerjet.

Windows or linux reader, and have you got remote lpd to work right? xpdf
works fine.
