Bedause the printer wants pcl. :-) (pcl is, AFAIK, an outgrowth of HP-GL)

I'm not sure if they automatically remember their names, but if their name
is in use, they generate an incrimental name (like Deskwriter becomes
Deskwriter 2).
The printers should have come with a little mac utility to change the
printer names. It should also be in the drivers at the HP web site. If you
don't have a MacOS box, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Take care,
