I've attempted to use the applet as well as the v0.09 Windows binary and neither seems to work correctly. Both will detect the correct number of pages. It shows the message "Updating image…" for a minute or two, then the message goes away. I'm positive these are .pcl files I'm trying to open because I'm able to send them to PCL 5 compatible printers and have it print just fine.
What do I need to do to troubleshoot this issue?

I have exactly te same problem. And I wonder why there is no reply to this issue. Is the project closed down?
It says "Updating image" and no more activity take place.
It is PCL5 files . It works ok with the SAMPLE.PCL which I downloaded from the OpenPCL website.

I have the same issue as tandrews: I used the applet within Firefox 15.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 to open a PCL file but all I get is the message "Updating image…" (and that one won't even get away). Is there a solution to this problem?
Does anyone know another PCL viewer else than Open PCL that actually works as expected?

I have traced this to the following
<Esc>&a+50H
(move 5 points right)
OpenPCL chokes on this on a file I produced manually. If I remove this command, it works fine. Using any value anywhere causes rouble, so it it not a clipping issue. It looks like the command is considered as illegal, even though it is referenced in the PCL5 language reference.
Of course <Esc>&a50H (move 5 points right fro logical page left edge) works fine. The + or - appear to be the culprits.

Like me - you may not have had dos type carriage returns in your file - causing the first printable lines to be outside the margins.
Try zapping your file with
sed -i -e 's/$/\r/' file.txt
I only have access to the .pcl file.
