LPR Printing to UNIX Server

I'm printing to a Canon BJC-3000 inkjet printer on a UNIX print server via
LPR. The "C-card" being sent by Win 2000 is including an "l" parameter,
which, I am told, indicates that the file is PostScript data. The UNIX
server therefore tries to convert it, since the Canon is NOT a PostScript
printer. Why would Win2000 behave thus? Is there any control or
configuration to manage the control records sent over in the C-card? I am
using the correct print driver on Win 2000, because I can print to the same
printer using the same driver through other ports. It is only the LPR
client that gives this strange behavior.

Thanks.
