I've got a NeXT running 3.0 that I want to connect to an HP LaserJet IIIsi
hanging off of ethernet.  I can get it to print fine until someone else
(It's a Novell network printer) prints to it (from a PC) and then the
printer needs to get a re-initialization string sent to it (to switch
it back to PostScript from the PCL jobs the PCs send).

Is there any way I can make the Next send an escape sequence prior to
the start of the PostScript Header?  (I've tried doing it with the 
Novell side, but the Next bypasses normal Novell channels).

Any suggestions are appriciated.  I'll summarize if there is interest.

-Carl
