Belive me, there is. Funny to notice that Adobe, the creators of
Postscript, do not trust their own interpreters so that they send
commands to the printer to switch to postscript (some old HP PS
implementations need that). Use a hex editor and look again.

I'm sure there is a solution with Cups to recognize this special format
but I have no idea how. You might ask there. If you got a solution,
mail me please!
