Do you actually have an auto cutter on it?

If not this:
Form feed  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *AUTOCUT

Should probably be
Form feed  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *CONT

You may want to look at the following on the printer file
Page definition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PAGDFN     *NONE
Form definition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : FORMDF     *NONE
Form type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : FORMTYPE   GB11X8.5

It seems to me that the spool subsystem / printer doesn't believe it needs
to reset the page size.
