Tom,
It is most likely in the format for the data stream used by that particular
printer. If you were using a PCL driver, then you are looking at raw PCL. If
you were using a PostScript driver then my guess is that you have encapsulated
PostScript. Most PostScript that I have looked at is at least partially
readable (not decipherable) by humans.
