My experience confirms this. I cat your echo string to the front of the gs
output before sending to the printer, but the output still comes out with
piles of ink. I'll try the sed approach and replace it, but it would be
better if gs could deal with this properly. I guess it's time to delve
deeper into the docs.

Thanks for all the help,
