an effect there I think, but try removing lines that you think might be
unneeded (i.e., not inserted by the linux driver) and seeing if the Windows
file still prints when sent to the printer.

I don't understand. The Windows file prints, right?
So take the file, strip out the lines you are going to reinsert with your
filters, run the file through the insert filter manually, check to see the
lines are there again, then send it to the printer to see if it performs
like its original did.
Now you know if your insertion is good or not.
After that you can mess around with other commands in the linux file to see
if they have any effect. I mean, you have a file that works, you could also
remoe lines from that until the content matches the linux file (in case
there are less PJL commands) and see if it still prints or not.
