The Ctrl-D's are necessary for printing Postscript from DOS 
to printers such as the Laserwriter and HP LJets with the 
Pacific Page Postscript cartridges.

They only get in the way when printing Postscript on Non-DOS
machines.  Maybe an option should be placed as to whether or 
not the Ctrl-Ds should be sent, however, as it stands I would
hate it greatly if the Ctrl-D's were removed since it would
cause a large amount of confusion for those simple folks who 
only use DOS and need to print Postscript.  

Most programs (such as Corel Draw) state that when printing
to a File in order to send it to a Professional printer for 
printing that the Ctrl-D's must be removed.  My suggestion
would be to write a short Unix filter (maybe with AWK) that would
strip the control D's from your files and then send it to lpr.
