You shouldn't HAVE to download the header manually unless you set the 
header option to "Already Downloaded" from the printer setup box.

The reason you would want to download the header manually is to save
print time.  If you download it once when the printer is turned on
you can save the download time of ~6K of PostScript code everytime
you print something.  It is especially noticable for short text
documents.
