Error -8133 is a "General PostScript Error," which means that there is some problem in the PostScript the LaserWriter is trying to interpret. When this has happened to me, I generally dump the file to a PostScript disk file instead of sending it to the LaserWriter, then use a PostScript downloader like SendPS to send it to the LaserWriter. SendPS seems to report errors in a much less cryptic fashion than the LaserWriter driver itself, and from time to time I can dope out what's wrong with the file... -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Does Captain Kirk Exist?"
