I don't know, it works fine for me on an Encore multimax to a DEC ln03.
Although when I use macps it puts its own line at the top of the file, so
perhaps you are doing something wrong which is causing macps not to process the
file. The first lines of a mac postcript file:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Title: Thesis
%%Creator: Microsoft Word

	and the same file after processing:

%! *** Created by macps: Tue Apr 10 23:45:00 1990
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Title: Thesis
%%Creator: Microsoft Word

so something seems to be up.
