My current Msoft Win 3.1 postscript printer driver for the HP 
Laserjet IIISI seems to insist on making the first line of PS output the 
string :

"Esc%-12345@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = Postscript"

The next line is %!PS-ADOBE etc. which is more reasonable.

This looks like an attempt to set the printer to postcript mode - which 
it's already in anyway. When passed thru various bits of our Unix 
network, the effect is that the postcript code gets printed 
out rather than the text I actually want. If that first nasty line is 
deleted from the output, then everything prints properly.

SO, does anyone know how to suppress this first line - by some form of 
switch or option setting in win.ini or from the printer set up dialog 
under control panel ? - or any means for that matter. Fiddling with the 
network isn't an option at the moment.

Any advice appreciated.

Regards
