No, that bug can be worked around.   The killer bug was that after
every job we would get an extra page, blank except for a black
diamond in the upper left corner.   Apparently the printer does
not handle the control-D correctly.   If you like, I can forward
the response from DCPS Engineering.   Since we use expensive media
in this application, the waste would be unacceptable.

Thanks for all your help, Paul.
