What Is a PCL XL Error?

The PCL XL error sometimes occurs with HP Laserjet printers. The cause usually is a corrupt printer driver and can be fixed by updating to the latest drivers.

  1. Error Text

    • Your computer will display the following error message when warning of a PCL XL error:

      PCL XL Error. Subsystem: KERNEL. Error: IllegalOperatorSequence. Operator: SetColorSpace. Position: 52.

    Cause

    • The cause is nearly always a corrupt printer driver -- specifically the PCL driver, which the laser printer uses to produce the data on the printed page. If this driver is not functioning properly, the printer cannot process the data it is receiving from the computer.
