Dumb question [because I haven't tried it myself], but would:

           setup_file      = $NULL

work to "disable" PCL initialization?

[of course, the alternative is to have the "fakeLP" driver recognize the PCL
initialization and strip accordingly.  From your dump, it appears there is
one and only one "CR" at the end of the initialization string, followed by
blanks to column 80 then a second CR.]
