I notice that the actual filter referenced in printcap is hpif2;
not hpif.

I would have expected that this would be where the PJL command is=20
added.

If some how it is added ahead of the filter you could edit the filter to=20
pass the input though sed to change the date in the PJL command
to whatever you want.
