I haven't used this module family but a colleague did some time back. From his notes you need to be wary of the control data which may already be in the PostScript. Corion alluded to that when he talked about fiddling the PS Preamble info!

There is an enumerator module which allows you to get the info from the printer, you need to do that then feed that back into the Win32::Printer invocation.

If you use the inject method you will have to make sure that you still have the PS Preamble and make sure to use the end method. In the code I am looking at (which is very long!) the inject method is used to load some graphics actually written in PostScript - not a complete PS page. Apart from that, how about some code we can look at?
