Sending PJL to a HP LJ p2055d

Question

A fairly simple question, I'm sure, but I'm stumped - I'm trying to send plaintext to a LaserJet P2055d as a downlevel job {i.e. simply copying a file to the share path}. However, it includes a number of central European characters such as žđćšč which print incorrectly. So, after a full day of unsuccessful messing around and experimentation, I figured I might as well hijack someone else's expertise - what sequence do I need to send/prepend the text with for:
Fixed-space regular font {ideally Courier, but as long as it's not too silly, I'm not picky}
Using CE characters like ŽĐĆŠČ {the text file is encoded as ANSI, but that can be changed if needed}
I'd really appreciate help with this - I suspect my problem is defining the wrong typeface family or something. I'm kind of out of ideas.
This question was solved.

The term ANSI is a somewhat loose term.
The character set commonly known as Windows ANSI (Code Page 1252) is a superset of the ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 character set, which uses some of the codes in the (little-used) C1 control-code range (0x80-0x9f) to represent graphic characters.
Whilst this includes some of your characters (the upper-and lower-case 'z with caron', 'eth' and 's with caron'), it does not include all of them (not 'c with acute accent' or 'c with caron').
ANSI (it appears - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_code_pages ) can also be used to refer to a number of different Windows Code Pages, including Code Page 1250, which is for Central European languages, so this is (possibly) the one that your documents are encoded with.
If so, you could try prepending your data with the following PCL symbol set/typeface escape sequences:
<Esc>(9E<Esc>(s0p10h0s0b4099T
where:
<Esc> represents the (non-graphic) Escape control-code character (the character with decimal code 27, or hexadecimal 1B).
This font selection sequence should select the Courier Regular typeface at 10 characters-per-inch.
Changing 9E to 19U would select the standard Western European (Code Page 1252) character set.
