'''Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language''' (abbr. '''LIDIL''') is a printer [[interface definition language]] used in more recent [[Hewlett-Packard]] [[Computer printer|printers]].

This language is commonly used on HP Deskjets that do not support the [[Printer Command Language|PCL printer language]]. 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.
