I've drawn a PICT in Superpaint 2.0 (LW6.0 fix), and it appears fine on 
screen, but when I print it out it is missing a bunch of text.  Here's how
I'm doing things:

1. Create document with SuperPaint 2.0

2. Print the file with the LaserWriter driver (don't remember the
version number, but the LaserPrep number is 5.2) and use the Command-f
to turn it into a PostScript file

3. upload to a UNIX box and use macps to print it, sending it to an IBM
Personal Pagewriter (look, that's what's available to me, and it seems to
work, so what do I care?  Anyhow, I seriously doubt that the problem is
with the printer, since most of the document appears fine, including
nearly identical objects...)


Any suggestions?  Is this a problem with SuperPaint (my suspicion) or with
macps?  Anybody with SuperPaint directly connected to a LaserWriter have
this problem?
