Oh hell. That probably means that something is resetting it for
every job (most likely the job itself) I very much doubt if it's
being blocked by the queue filter but I really can't tell because
we don't actually run LPRng.

Now that's your problem (viz. MS-Word) :-)
Seriously; isn't that what you needed? I guess I'm confused - Color
me stupid - I don't think I understand what the problem is anymore.
However; MS puts some rather strange and distressing stuff in their
postscript. It might be instructive if you put one of the
troublesome jobs on your ftp, or someplace, where I could grab it
and have a look.
With reference to the script that asks what the value is I'll try to
get some time to make a job that prints those values instead of
sending it back to the driver so you don't have to go rummaging
through print logs and stuff. It would be instructive to know if
that option is actually getting set.
