To all the Mac PS gurus...

SETUP:
Macintosh with Modem port connected to a Terminal server.
LaserWriter Chooser v5.2.

AIM:
Print Mac documents out on a Postscript LaserPrinter connected to a Unix Box.

THE STORY SO FAR:
Fetched the following files from sumex-aim:
		"unix/macps-22.shar"
		"tips/generating-postscript.txt".
Used Command-K to create a postscript file with the laserprep
	stuff in it.
Sent this file up to our Mips Unix box.
Ran prepfix on this file to produce the modified laserprep file.
Followed the directions to create a chooser document that will send the
	data out the modem port.
Set up our the terminal port to send the data from it to a file.
Ran macps on this file and send this off to our laserprinter.
(Aside:
	Sending to our laserprinter actually involves mailing it across
	to one of our Vaxes, extracting it to a file, removing the header
	stuff and then printing it.  It sounds complex but it works, at least
	up until now it has. )

PROBLEM:
When I print out the file I get back an error that it can't find the mark
for a cleartomark call.

IDEAS??

thanx
