I take back my solution to print directly to the printer. The user just emailed to inform me that the print jobs are still PCL. Actually, the fax server (hylafax) thinks they are PCL but in fact I've looked at the file and it is PS although it is prepended with some non-PS junk like: @PJL SET STRINGCODESET=UTF8 There are 8 of those such lines before we get to: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 I also note that the file size jumped from about 60K to about 600K between Windows XP and Windows7 using the same printer driver (HP LaserJet 2800 PS). I need to wait until tonight to try to work around this but I'll try at least: 1) experiment with different PS drivers (non-HP) 2) experiment with lowering the DPI (this one indicates in the comments that it is 600 dpi which is way higher than needed) Thanks and sorry for the misinformation on the fix.
