In the entry for the printer in the user's WIN.INI
file you need to put:
ctrld=0
This turns off the control-D characters that Windows
likes to sprinkle throughout the file, and which unix
print spoolers usually barf on.
We've had this problem here with direct connections to
the printers, not running through papd. It seems that
some implementations of postscript, especially the clones
and ghostscript, seem to deal with ctrl-D characters,
while others like our Tektronix Phaser cheerily spit out
"offending command" errors.
