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.
