  I have some experience with postscript output from PageStream.
  When printing to disk it seems not to print the "%!" character in
  the beginning 
  which is required for Postscript devices to recognize that the
  file is a postscript file rather than a normal ASCII file.  As a
  result when you dump that file to a Apple Laserwriter it outputs
  pages containing the postscript commands rather than the actual
  page.  I have to add the "%!" chartacters to the beginning of the
  file to get it work right.  Anyone has similar experience?  The
  version of Pagestream I refer to is the one out on November, but I
  don't know if this bug is still present in V 1.5.
