The .PFM file structure is documented in the Device Driver Kit.  (The DDK
includes sources for a somewhat outdated copy of the HPPCL.DRV driver.
It includes an editor for PFM files.)

The Programmer's Shop (1-800-something) carries the DDK for the same price
as the SDK.  Sorry, I don't recall the numbers and don't have a catlog handy.

I don't think that there's any difference in the .PFM layout between PCL
and PS (except for which section of WIN.INI the name appears).

Maybe some kind soul from Microsoft could post the info to SIMTEL20... (hint)
