I believe that whenever you :COPY a spool file, it's CCTL (in the first
character of each line) becomes 'visible'.  The solution is to re-spool
the file to the printer with the SPOOLF command.  You could also use
SPOOKNM or Jeff Vance's SPOOK command file to make the copy directly
into
the system spooler.

Here's a sample SPOOLF command file:

Here's a downloadable copy of Jeff Vance's SPOOK (version for 5.5):
