HP uses a printer language called PCL.
Here is a PCL command reference that may help. (http://pcl.to/reference/)
I'm not quite sure this is what you want. The printer driver for your printer should do what you need, but I've included the reference above in case you are writing a custom program and need to control the printer directly.
Best of luck,

Thank you WallyH
The PCL command reference was exactly what I needed - I will now try to control these printers through my custom program - thanks again.
