FWIW I've been running for some time with a hacked filter (stolen from
netatalk) which strips PJL from the start and the end. (It's not very
good; it strips to the first %! and from a trailing \E%-12345X to end ---
this seems to cause problems with the Windows HP5SiMX driver, the target
printer needs a hard reset to recover. Sheesh). This was necessary for
mixed Unix and Windows printing in our environment.
The strip-from-end has so far only been needed for Windows 95/98; NT seems
better behaved. Without the strip-from-end printers would eject an extra
page or two followed by a PostScript error page (if enabled).
