The driver is adding that stuff to the beginning, interestingly enough ONLY when the driver is installed remotely (Samba), not on the local PC. At any rate, I've got the driver set up how I'd like, and file tosses the file (even though had it gone right to the printer, it woulda printed).

Just looking for the best course of action here. I could make it a passthrough, but people print to it from UNIX sometimes, so I'd rather not do it that way.

Thanks.

My printer driver seems to be generating this, or something like it, at
the beginning of my spool files:

^NM-s^_M-QM--

..this is throwing off file, and making it think that it is not a PJL
file (the ^[%PJL etc. comes right after it). Any ideas about how to deal
with this? I really just wanted it to look farther into the first line
(but not have to say HOW far) to find the PJL, but... I don't see that
that's necessarily possible with file (it would have to be relative to
some other string I determined to be in the file, apparently).

Someone recently pestered me about this again, and I figure I shouldn't
let it win this time.

Thanks!

This is not a totally new one to me, but I cannot remember the details of the particular device. I think that whoever is generating the files for this needs to look at the driver they are using. For some reason, I keep thinking 'Brother Ink Jets' but I cannot recall the details.
