ESC & k 2 G
with no spaces between, & ESC as the real escape ascii char will also work.
I think working through the LCD menu on my HP3P for instance may also do it.

I know quite a bit of HP PCL 5 (I did a freelance project targetting it :-)
so am happy to answer some PCL 5 questions from time to time; however
I'm not the right person to ask about printcap filters, Tex, apsfilter etc.
To learn about the HP2 & 3 series, & PCL5. I reccomend
"HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual"
It cost me 45 Deutsche Mark in Sept '91. It has no ISBN, publisher is HP.
I ordered it at the shop that sold me the laser printer.
