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.
