The problem almost certainly lies in the postscript header.
Generate the same PS document from Windows and from OS/2, then
compare them side-by-side.
The Windows version should start w/ something resembling:
%!PS-Adobe
The OS/2 version likely has a line or two before the %!PS-Adobe line...
remove the preceding stuff, and try printing that.
But, if you're looking for a way to stop OS/2 from printing that
header in the first place, I'm not sure how to do that.
Good luck!
