I have found that AIX gets flaky with some characters, depending on the PCL
command.  I had to put some things into macros to get them to print
properly, and as previously mentioned, I recommend using the "passthrough"
setting for the form queue.

You might find the following PCL Debug commands helpful:

^027&s0C - Enable End of Line Wrapping
^027Y    - Enable Display Functions Mode
^027Z    - Disable Display Functions Mode

The ^027Y will display all characters received instead of executing the
PCL.  The first command allows overlong commands to wrap on the printer.  I
consider this the "last ditch" debug to figure out if the data I expect is
actually reaching the printer.  I suggest trimming PCL to the essential
problem areas, if possible.

Hope this helps.
