This has absolutely nothing to do with filePro.
Go find an informix mail list or web forum and ask them.

Note to rest: he already mailed me personally for some reason before 
this and I already gave what little generic PCL and Linux cups spooler 
advice was possible given the info above. The rest is obviously informix 
specific and maybe application specific or installation specific.
