It seems that nobody could help me with my PJL handshaking problem.
Maybe my long log was boring. Anyway, I will face it myself so, can
somebody tell me what is suposed to be the correct handshaking between
PPRDRV and the printer?

I agree this has to be an PJL handshaking problem but it worked fine on
1.32.
Anyway using  jobbreak control-d doesn't solve it. So far, turning off
the
banner page seems to correct the problem, the wor prints fine.

I've compiled pprdrv with some debug options. Can somebody  figure out
what is
going on? Maybe the printer isn't sending the expected PJL.
