The following file prints differently on NIL when spooled with lpr and
pdpr.
The Pd banner page should either (1) completely clean up its garbage
from the printer environment or (2) be in a separate PostScript job [I
recommend #2, as it is a "cleaner" solution, in that the printer is
doing all the hard work of cleanup.]

%!
% This file works properly (i.e. unpolluted environment) via LPD to NIL,
% but not via Palladium to NIL.
% It demonstrates that the Pd banner page is NOT properly cleaning up
% the PostScript VM environment.
