LIDIL (Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language):

  • interface definition language used in more recent Hewlett-Packard printers.

This language is commonly used on HP Deskjets that do not support the PCL printer

language. As the name suggests, the language only supports the definition of raster

documents, and is very limited overall. It is a "host-based" protocol which is advertised

with LDL in the CMD: (command set) field of the device ID string. Such models do not support

printing ASCII text.
