Perhaps you could pst an URL to a sample file (or at least post the very
first some lines).
Does the PS file begin with the "UEL" statement (<1B>%-12345X)?

Do you use the correct PPD in your Winxx box? the PPD I found contains
no JCL statements,
which suggests that the printer is PostScript-only (???).
