I'm very confused.   What, in these configs, is doing the transformation
to postscript?

I see this:

> User data transform  . . . . . .   TSPRWPR       Name, *SAME, *NONE

AFIAK, TSPRWPR is the QUSRTOOL program that adds support for printing
page ranges via LPR.  Did you modify it to also translate the document to
postscript?   Or am I incorrect about what this does?

>   Library  . . . . . . . . . . .     FIKEMOD     Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB

Or, maybe this is what transforms it to postscript?   I don't have this
on my system, of course, it looks like something that was created by
your company?

I wonder if maybe you're using PCL??  The HP4050's native language is PCL,
though it does do PostScript level-2 emulation.   Host Print Transform
supports PCL directly.
