Use the Reflection commands as outlined in Andrew Pilz's reply, or simply
put OPTION NOLIST on your HP3K command file.

The evolution of PCL & PJL seem to be getting you on this; your method seems
to involve deliberately EXcluding printer resets at the end of downloading
your FORM and at the beginning of your REPORT.

A solution: Treat the "PCL FORM" file as an environment file, as in...
:FILE OUTPUT;DEV=LASERJET;ENV=PCLFORMFILE
...which will cause the spooler to preface OUTPUT with PCLFORMFILE when it
dumps to the LASERJET.

Good luck!
