I had somewhat of a similar problem when changing a printer from twin ax to 
ethernet. After making the change all of the reports that used to print on it 
now printed in a different font and one report in particular did not print in 
duplex anymore. I looked at the program that used to print in duplex and found 
the following values ¬D1 and ¬D0 hardcoded into the O specs. Along with 
&%1B266C33303055&%
&%1B266C30303055&%
&%1B45&%          
There was zero documentation as to what those values meant. After doing my best 
Sherlock Holmes impression I found that the ¬D1 and ¬D0 were for duplexing and 
the other values were for setting the font type and point size. These strings 
or commands were meant for the IO PrintBox that was used when the printer was 
connected via Twin Ax. My understanding of the PrintBox is that it is a box 
that contains a printer interface card. It can be tailored to work with various 
printers. In my case an HP 8100. What I did to fix this was take out the print 
command and used an OVRPPRTF command to handle the duplexing and font settings. 
I was able to get the report to duplex with the correct font size but I was 
never able to get the exact font type. I couldn't figure out what 
&%1B266C33303055&% and &%1B266C30303055&% translated to. So to make a long 
story short can you comment out the PCL and try to use a print file override?
