From the article:

   * PCL1 was introduced in 1984 on the HP ThinkJet 2225 and provides basic text printing.
   ...
   * PCL3 was introduced in 1984 with the original HP LaserJet, adding bitmapped fonts and graphics capability.

Actually, PCL has always had graphics capability. PCL1 on the Thinkjet ran at 150dpi, then the LaserJet series (PCL3) increased that to 300dpi, with 150dpi left in to maintain compatibility with older software that only suported PCL1. I've edited the page to reflect this.

Thanks: It's been difficult to find information on the older versions of PCL. --Gadget850 17:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
