    HP uses a printer language called PCL.
    Here is a PCL command reference that may help.

    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.
