You cannot get rid of the PSCRIPT5.DLL driver on the XP machine and substitute the ADOBEPS4.DRV driver. Windows'9x/Me and Windows 2000/XP are totally different architectures when it comes to drivers. The drivers for Windows'9x/Me simply just don't work at all on the newer systems.

In terms of a terminating CTRL-D (binary 4) character on output, that is controlled by the printer properties parameters. It is by default on and if it is currently off on your system, it is easy to reset via the printer properties.

You should note that Corel products generate their own PostScript and simply use the PostScript driver as a means of routing the PostScript to the device plus for insertion of device-dependent paper-handling features. Check your versions of such products. Some of the older versions of them had some serious compatibility problems with Windows 2000 and XP. Newer versions allegedly work OK with Windows 2000 and XP. You might want to contact Corel's Technical Support folks about this for complete details.
