Any suggestions for generating a PCL macro file from Word? I'm "printing to
file," and this *does* give me a semi-usable .prn or .pcl (if I rename it),
but when I use my application to push it into the printer's memory, it just
prints out a copy of the page--it doesn't seem to be creating a proper PCL
macro (I need to create a generic backer page that sits in the printer's
memory and prints on the back of every page 1 of any number of multi-page
documents).

I've tried every combo of duplexing/2-sided print option available for the
8150 and 9000 family of printers (through Windows 2000 and MS Word).

Try printing your prn file with the following program.

If it prints, then you have a proper  prn.
