If you have the QMS810, you probably have "PSEXEC" (or ought to be able to 
sleaze a copy of it from your QMS dealer). PSEXEC will send a routine to the 
printer that will kick it into HP emulation mode. Most of the routines that 
PSEXEC sends appear in the directory that the program was installed into 
(Startup on/off, Error handler, Status page, etc). My guess is that there is 
a PostScript (or QMS specific) file that can be downloaded by whatever means 
to achieve the desired effect. 
Find the file, move it over to your UNIX machine and dl it from there.

Tell me if the file exists and if it works.
