Post Script Printing on AIX 5.2

Hello all,
        We have just performed a fresh install of AIX 5.2 on out P630's.
We appear to have installed all the required printer drivers etc for the HP
Laser Jet 5Si printers. However when we try to print to a post script
printQ, the job is accepted but we get no print output. If we set up a
normal printq to the same printer this works fine.

It works OK to the same printer from an old 4.3.3. J50.

This is the output from lslpp -l | grep -I print:

Anyone any ideas what the problem is please?
