I recently had the same problem printing from FrameMaker to the Lino
equipment.  My solution was to edit the PS directly before giving it
to our typesetter on Mac floppies.

When you start scrolling through the PS you'll see:

/colorimage{_NXDoImageOp}__NXbdef
/alphaimage{1 add _NXDoImageOp}def
%%EndDocument

/landscape false def

The %%EndDocument signifies the end of the NeXT printPackage and the
beginning of the Frame prologue.

I created a new dictionary after the %%EndDocument like so:

/FrameDict 300 dict def
FrameDict begin

Now search down to the "%%EndProlog".  It should look something like:

<8040201008040201> (I149cf0) 14 makecontextpattern
gsave
-1 -9 translate
 /__NXbasematrix matrix currentmatrix def
grestore
%%EndProlog

Add:

end %%FrameDict 

before the gsave.  Now go down a few lines and add

FramdeDict begin

just before "%%EndSetup". and finally jump to the bottom of the file and add:

end %FrameDict 

after the "%%Trailer" line.

I hope this helps.  It worked for me a couple of weeks ago.  If anyone
has a better solution, I'd be interested in seeing it.  

While I'm here, I'd like to recommend "Thinking in PostScript" by
Glenn Reid to anyone who'll be doing a lot of PostScript hacking - it
complements the Red,Green, and Blue books very nicely. (The
explanation of creating your own dictionaries is in there...)
