DCPS printing issues with Color LaserJet 4550

I'm using DCPS V2.3 on VMS V7.3-2.
Two questions:

1) Any way to force a PostScript document to print in black and white? I only have the .PS files and no way to recreate them (they were downloaded from HP.) There aren't any documented PRINT_PARAMETERS to do this. I could conceivably edit the PostScript itself if I knew what to look for.

2) According to its configuration page the printer has a duplex unit installed and enabled, but when I print these same documents with SIDES=2 I only get one sided hardcopy. Could this be a result of something in the PostScript files themselves, rather than with DCPS or the printer?

Never mind!

The table of contents and headings actually ARE blue!

Plus the color may make the virtually illegible (on my printer, at least) screen captures somewhat less illegible.

Unfortunately I had to print it from a PeeCee because the printer and my DS10 were having trouble talking over TCP/IP.
