MS Windows PS driver weird?

Hello,
Has anybody had difficulty with the PostScript driver that
comes with Windows 3? We find that the code generally works,
but leaves the printer in a wacko condition; the next job
is scaled down in size and backwards...successive jobs get
smaller and smaller.
We 'print' to a file then transer to a unix host that uses
lpr to spool to our ps printers.
The stupid ^Ds at the beginning and end are tolerable, easy enough
to get rid of, but this scaling problem really stinks.
Our printer is a DEC LN03R, but I observe the same thing on
my RS/6000's display postscript.

Why is this, how do I fix it?

thank you berry much,
rob
