If I print to the Dell, the first few lines of the print job have an error in them and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out where it's coming from. The same print job to the other printer works fine using the same Windows drivers.

I'd guess that the order dependency values for the Dell JCL options
are the same as the ones for the job-sheets option, and then they
just get mixed together.  If you can post a URL to the PPD on the
Windows system, we can look and verify that is the case...
