Nope,  already tried that.  The Ghostscript file contains a string that resets
the printer,  so I would have to insert the command after that string on every
print job (assuming I could find the string).  Raw PCL is pretty ugly to read.

But maybe if I used dd to open a hole in the file . . . I may be on to
something here.
