convert jpg to pcl (pcl5)

I have a gray scale jpg
I am executing: convert myimage.jpg myimage.pcl
The output PCL prints the image fine to my color laser.
It does not print correctly on HP4050 B/W printer (prints area where image should be but its just a jumble of gray and black)

Questions:
1) Is the output PCL image contain PCL5 or PCL6? (I need PCL5)
2) What is the best way to convert jpg (or any other format) to PCL and create a PCL5 that works with color and B&W laser printers?

I have been trying many different options
-compress none (I think worked once but I have not been able to re-replicate it working)
-compress RLE
-grayscale
-monochrome

Thanks in advance for any help
