We have one postscript printer here which gets print jobs from all over a
little network.  (Mostly DOS machines)  If someone prints a graphics image
from a DOS program named "CorelDraw" to the printer and then someone sends
a normal text file (which gets converted to postscript via the transcript
program "pstext", but I've used "enscript" also with the same results), the
CorelDraw image comes out just fine but the text file gets printed in a
little tiny font and in mirror image fashion!

Has anyone seen this before?  Is there some command that I can put in the
header of all jobs going to the printer which would fix this?  If someone
can give me hint of what's happening (what CorelDraw is not resetting
correctly), I can call them and turn in a bug report.

HELP!
