It turns out that there are TWO (2) places where the DISPLAY is set.
Try the following patch and see if this works:
*** ifhp.c 2000/12/25 01:53:06 1.74

void Pjl_job()
{
! char *s, buffer[SMALLBUFFER];
int n = 0, len;
if( (s = Find_value(&Model,"pjl_job",Value_sep )) ){
--- 2465,2471 ----
void Pjl_job()
