You need to install pcl6, which is the name of a binary you get from
compiling ghostpdl source code.

I have been disputing Lee Howard on how to invoke it;  relevant excerpt
from my typerules file:

  # To do client-side PCL conversion to tiffg3 comment-out the above 4
  # lines and uncomment the following, which decides a file is a PCL file
  # if its first two characters are <ESC> E (0x1b45), the PCL reset command.
  #
  0  short  0x1b45  tiff  pcl6 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -sOutputFile=- %i > %o


And yes, I have filePro processing tables that generate invoice files
with PCL3 codes, which the table then dispatches by invoking sendfax.
