DEC printers have some non-standard features compared to most other
PostScript printers.  Non-standard in a strictly standard, by-the-book
sort of way, as DEC will do.

If you download (with lpr) the error handler found in
/usr/lib/transcript/ehandler.ps (on your NeXT) before you send the job
to the printer, you should get a printout that gives you the PostScript
error.  If you mail that error message to me, I might be able to help
you fix the problem.
