choose laster printer emulation PCL6 / GDI

I have question, how to choose laster printer Emulation:
PCL#6, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_Command_Language
GDI, http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers
HP host-based-printing, http://www.yourdictionary.com/computer/host-based-printing
Canon CAPT, http://www.bubblejet.canon.com.my/technolog/capt_lbp.htm


I found some cheaper laster printer, that device only use GDI,HP hotbased, CAPT
but expensive device, that use PCL6


(q1) PCL6 is good to print AutoCad ?

(q2) if cheaper, (GDI, HP hotbased, CAPT ,) how to choose ?

(q3) I choose cheaper laster printer and printer resolution only 600dpi , can sucess printer BARCODE CODE39 ?
Barcode scanner can readable?

(q4) Also, I choose cheaper Emulation and printer resolution Max 600dpi and only 2MB RAM Max. and process only 48MHz,
is enough to print PDF file , only 1 page , size over 10MB ?

(q5) I like this http://www.canon.com.hk/en/Consumer...roduct_id=100139&series_id=10025&tag_id=12225



Any idea please!

 

I am no printer expert (pretty far from it ), you might need to ask on a printing specific forum.

It seems like you are trying to print very large or high resolution files onto a small area, that is A4 size paper, whereas it might require A3 size or draughtman's paper. To squeeze large images onto a small area will require very high resolution (dots per inch), hence, higher cost.

That's how I would see it.

You could go to the manufacturer's support website, look up their Contact Us and ask them what they would recommend.
