You are correct... here is what the HP5L Postscript driver I use in WinNT 
addes when I save the ps job.

---SNIP---
ESC%-12345X@PJL JOB
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
---SNAP---

Once I removed the top three lines so the file starts with "%!PS-Adobe-3.0" it 
worked fine....

Thanks,
