You probably need to send the "header file" to the printer before you send
your PC-Write output.  In v2.7 this file was called PSDOWN.PS (I think).
There are probably two versions of the header file, one for networked and
one for non-networked printers.  You can concatenate the header file onto the 
output file and send the combination to a network printer.  For a non-networked
printer you probably only need to send the header file once (each time you
power up the printer).
