It claims that everything is sent via [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for LPD) or sent on
port 10001. I so far haven't gotten postscript out of it via LPRng, but a
co-worker of mine says he bypasses the queue and does get PS to work.

Incidentally... I discovered the source of my problem. My boss'
workstation with a standalone driver for the printer prints with PJL in
the header, and the job prints properly. The drivers I have hosted on the
Samba server I have are tacking this onto the beginning of the dfA...'s:

^NM-s^_M-QM--

I don't know what the hell that is, so I really don't know what I could do
with the magic file. It calls a file prefaced with this a "data" file, and
then for some reason it makes the leap to PS and prints out some PS
headers stairstepped across the page. Does anyone recognize this string as
meaning anything in any language?
