If I had a printer question, I might expect
better answers sooner in a printer forum than
I would in this HP-UX forum. However, ...

This looks to me like PCL, about which I
know nothing, but I'd bet a small fortune
that a Google search for keywords like
pcl reference
would find a large number of documents which
could help you interpret these commands.
For example:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/bpl13205/bpl13205.pdf

"/027" = Escape

For example, E is "Printer Reset",
"&l0O" is "Page Orientation" (where "0"
specifies Portrait), and so on.
