I too confirmed this, there is something seriously wrong with one of your drivers. How did you generate this file? is it directly from windows i.e. Print to file, or is it taken from a stopped queue on the server? I am not surprised that 'file' is having problems! We too use the same printer here, if you like I can try and find out the version of our windows drivers (I'm a unix person ;-) as I know for a fact that we don't get that 'crappy' stuff at the beginning of printouts. cheers, sam > Try stripping off just those bytes or get > http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/mforrest/printing/Job927-df-mf.prn > > > In the -PCL- you don't have the ESC code to end the job.. shouldn't be a > problem if the printer is set to auto personality, but I've always seen it > there.
