Looks like you are missing the prolog that defines the procedures that are
being executed.  Most software that creates PostScript programs write a
prolog file the defines a bunch of procedures, making the PostScript file
alot smaller.

You are missing said file.  I suspect that the program outputs the prolog
separately.  Call the company involved and ask them how you can get the
prolog printed.
