Finally I got some time to spend on this issue :-)

hpdj understands both "-sColourMode" and "-sColorMode", and the models
accepted are "mono", "CMY", "CMY+K" and "CMYK".

pcl3 understands both "-sColourModel" and "-sColorModel", and the models
accepted are "Gray", "RGB", "CMY", "CMY+K" and "CMYK".

This is a stupid incompatibility, isn't it?
