notes: this happens with certain pdf files like the one at
http://www.msu.edu/~omalleys/lecture.pdf
The one the mac recreated is:
http://www.msu.edu/~omalleys/lecture2.pdf

LPRng with the same file works well with the file when it is printed from
MacOS 10.3.

The Windows Printer driver version is 5.01. or PSCRIPT5.DLL

I just noticed that the Data Format for the Driver is 'RAW' since  it is
be redirected to LPT5 (I don't think they figured out how to get the
driver working with usernames or authenticated.) and the security is
actually taken care of through rembo and not windows.

Would this make a difference?

Also when you look at the dfAx file with file it returns PJL instead of
Postscript like the Mac dfAx file does. It looks like the driver is
sending postscript wrapped in PJL with the first file. The second it is
sending a postscript file with embedded /PDF commands. The Mac dfA file
does not have these and it is bigger in general.

IS there a way to sanitize the raw data back to postscript? Would a2ps or
some other utility work? And how do you configure that as a filter for
LPRng?
