Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language

Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language (abbr.

LIDIL) is a printer interface definition language used in more recent Hewlett-Packard printers.

As the name suggests, the language only supports the definition of raster documents, and is very limited overall.

It is a "host-based" protocol which is advertised with LDL in the CMD: (command set) field of the device ID string.

Such models do not support printing ASCII text.
