The %33&l9V is an old! PCL command to select a VFC (vertical format
control) channel on the older HP printers. I just tried it on my
LaserJet IIID and it works just fine, but it's not documented anywhere
except for an old HP265x printer manual I have. No mention of it in the
PCL5 specifications. Maybe you can replace that old sequence with an
absolute cursor move like %33&a59rC to position the cursor as the
beginning of line 59 (last line of 60 line/page) and the left column.

I hope this helps
