I've seen some PostScript, generated by the NeXT computer that had the
images stored as *binary* data.  If you just did an "ASCII transfer"
to the PC, then you may have lost some of the data for that page.

To check if your PostScript files have binary data in them you can
check them for the string, "%%BeginBinary:".

Another possible problem (although I don't think many people will hit
this) is that the PostScript dictionary, userdict is defined to have
300 entries on the NeXT, but only 200 on the RIP4.

I hope this helps.  We just had our battle with documents printing on the
NeXT printer and not on the Lino so I can empathize completely!!
