I froze the files in F:\SPOOL\HPLaser1 by turning off the printer before they disappeared. There are two file, 00011.SHD which is a binary file that starts with hex 80 00 0B 00 32 00 9E 00 B5 1C 00 00 00 00 D8 B4 ...
and is 1,284bytes long. It also contains some text such as:
<snip>
and a file called 00011.SPL which starts like a bona fide PostScript:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Pages: (atend)
Have you tried copying the PS file to the printer port
(assuming it is on an LPT port)? Bypassing the spooler.

Oh, interesting. The file looks OK, starting with

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Pages: (atend)
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 973 1251

and ending with

cleartomark end end pagesave restore
showpage
%%PageTrailer
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 1
%%EOF

When I copy it to LPT1: (10,194,430 bytes) from the command line, the receiving light flashes, the prompt comes back in about 2 seconds while the printer continues to flash for 1'40". Then nothing. Forcing print with CTRL-L produces a blank page, so it's not that it was missing a new-page command.

Did you use the "/B" switch on copy to make sure it's sending the whole file?
