Adding to a PCL file for print
I am trying to add some variable print to a list of pcl files within a folder.
Am doing some programming within perl, bash and some other scripts.
(Open to a format and language).
I need to add an incrementing number (variable that will increment by one each time) to the first page of each pcl file within a folder. I have a specific position on the first page of each pcl file.
Is this possible?

If your PCL text is just text, it should be possible. Make it a placeholder like %VAL% and replace it with sed.

PCL has cursor control. You could insert an escape sequence at the end of the file to move the cursor back to the correct position, print the text, then eject (print) the page.
