First of all, go grab a copy of the System Errors DA from
sumex-aim.stanford.edu. This little gem shows you a listing of
possible error codes, with a *brief* description of what the
error is. Not that the message is very helpful: in your case,
error -8133 is a general PostScript error. Grab a copy of
the PostScript errorhandler (ehandler.ps) from the Adobe
PostScript mail server (ps-file-server@adobe.com), and use
a utility like SendPS or the Font Downloader to send that
file to your printer. Then, try to print; when you get the
PostScript error, the LaserWriter will print out a partially
completed page, along with the error message and a stack dump
from the printer. Having a copy of the Red Book (PostScript
Language Reference Manual) nearby for debugging purposes...
