Default HP 1320 LaserJet printer prints too light

I bought a HP LaserJet 1320 printer less than three weeks ago. The
problem I'm having with it is that it is printing much lighter than
it should be.

I THINK the problem is that the printer is in EconoMode for the
toner. Can anyone please tell me whether the 1320 is in EconoMode
by default?

If the printer is in EconoMode by default then my next question is:
how do I get it out of this mode WITHOUT using a driver made for
Windows? Let me explain my special situation... Because I have
cerebral palsy, it would be extremely difficult for me to use a
mouse. Consequently, I work in DOS, which I love.

Therefore, as I see it, the only way I have to get the printer out
of EconoMode (if EconoMode is the problem) is for me to issue the
proper PCL or PJL command(s) to the printer. (I would have no
trouble doing this, because I am proficient in writing computer
software in QuickBasic.) My problem is: I can't find the proper
commands to get my 1320 out of EconoMode. The tech support guy at
Hewlett Packard couldn't help me with this.

So, to sum up, I'd like to know: 1. if you think my light print
problem is cause by EconoMode, and 2. if EconoMode is the problem,
what are the PCL or PJL command(s) that would get the printer out of
this mode.

Your help in this matter would be VERY, VERY much appreciated.

Bill Geluso
