SYMPTOMS
When you print to a file with a HP LaserJet 5Si Mx PostScript driver, the output file contains an offending PJL command, which causes the entire PostScript file to print as plain text when sending to a PostScript printer.

With Windows NT 3.51, when you print to a file with a HP LaserJet 5SiMx postscript driver, it works correctly.



RESOLUTION
@PJL commands are for job control purpose. You will have to disable the job control commands from the PostScript output if you are generating PostScript files to be post-processed by other programs.

You can disable the job control commands through the user interfaces by following these steps:
 * 1) On Start, click Settings and then click Printers.
 * 2) Click the HP 5Si Mx printer icon one time and then select Document Defaults from the File menu.
 * 3) Click the Advanced tab.
 * 4) Open Document Options and then open PostScript options
 * 5) Select the Generate Job Code option, set it to No, and then click OK.
