I needed to print some high volume reports to file using the PostScript driver.
If you delete Tag2, as you know, it will use the default Windows driver to create the output so, I immediately found that it was not the PostScript code. :)
I don't think that there is the workaround. One of my solutions (to switch the PostScript printer driver on the fly (according to the particular requirements) was to extract the corresponding data from Tag2 field from 2 different reports, keep them in .MEM files and hack the .FRX on the fly replacing the Tag2 field before printing.
