As I understand it, you have to modify the *.ptr programs, ie the
printer drivers. This can be done by using the PTR.EXE programs
supplied with the WP5.1. You will have to add your string (@SETUP5 or
@SETUP6) into the "Initialization String" section for each of the 
respective printer drivers. Once you modify the drivers, the only
thing you have to do is to re-select the appropriate driver before
using it.
Hope this helps.
