I'm having trouble printing from Windows 3.1 to an HP LaserJet III
with a PostScript cartridge.  For some reason Windows, which is set
up for an HP LaserJet III Postscript, is prepending a ^D to the
beginning of the file.  The first line of the ps file looks like: 
 
^D%!PS-Adobe 
 
This only prints out the code, not the image.  If I edit the file
and remove the ^D, then send the file, it works fine! 
 
Does anyone know which configuration changes I need to make to get
this to work right?
 
 
thanks 
mark
