Can someone kindly give me some hints on how to print out figures generated by
Xfig(V2.0) in postscript?  I got the TransFig package by ftp from svax.cornell.
edu.  From the README file, the fig2dev program in the TransFig package is
supposed to be able to convert figures(by Xfig V2.0) into postscript format.
It indeed does that. However, when I try to print out the postscript in  
Apple LaserWritter, it gives the following error message:


{
Your printer job (test.ps) 
could not be printed

Can someone with experience on Xfig help me out on this.  Please send reply
directly to me since I am not regularly reading these groups.

Thanks a lot.
