This is a bug in PWG.  They set up the print record to print in draft mode,
instead of in spool (deferred) mode, and only text prints in draft mode
properly.  The old hacked-to-pieces IW driver allowed this, probably because
it worked in a really old version and couldn't be changed or it broke PWG.

It was not feasible to add this feature to the new 5.0.3+ IW driver, so PWG
won't print with them.  You can patch PWG to use the correct value for the
bjDocLoop value in the job subrecord of the print record, or you can keep
a copy of the 5.0.2 IW driver in your drivers folder to print with.
