  I have recently been plagued with problems printing PostScript files to the
  NeXT printer.  The PS code in question is generally created on some other
  platform (ie, not NeXT-created).  Symptoms include printing multiple pages of
  the same thing, spreading the image across 4 pages, and errors such as
  "Couldn't print file because of malformed PostScript"
  "Error:limitcheck; Offending Command:printerdevice"

  Anybody got any clues on what differences exist between NeXT PS and PS 
  from other systems--differences that might cause the above symptoms?

Another possibility is that, if you're using "Preview", you might try
sending the file straight to the printer with "lpr" instead.
