I don't read this group very much, so excuse me if this question has a
well-known answer.

To print from our Mac, we have to do a file transfer to a unix machine.
So we dump the output as a postscript file and transfer that. Yesterday
we wanted to print a small Hypercard stack - 15 cards. The postscript
file was a mind-boggling 5 megabytes big! Can anyone suggest why this
might be? (If anyone can suggest how to get round it - our unix systems
can't spool files that big - then better still).
