PCL question

Good People,

My issue is an aging laserjet4si and its inability to interpret anything beyond PCLv2. Would anyone happen to know an easy way to force just one queue into using only PCL2 formatting?
I dug around in the interface script and in model.orig but didn't see anything immmediately promising and was hoping for a friday quick fix.

Basically I discovered I simply take the raw printjob and change the PCL mode from 3 to a 2 and it formats perfectly, of course my next consideration and probably honestly the more appropriate one would be changing the configuration in an old version of Oracle Tools...but hey its friday and I would like to get drinking.
Best Regards,
Aaron
