I don't think this is a driver issue as they can run the Invoice printing option from two locations in the app, both going out to the same printer from the same workstation, and one prints fine and the other not.

That was what led me to want to compare LIST STATUS and LIST MEMORY outputs.

This sort of reminds me of that, but I don't recall any setting that would turn that off. This is just a stab at the problem; obviously not doing GETs for printed output.

Try to change the Set Device To Printer command into Set Device to File somefile.txt, and then analyze the file.

And BTW, the command to create a rectangle, was @ x1,y2,x2,y2 Box
