I'm having trouble with PageStream 1.5, mostly printing to a printer,
but I did try generating a PostScript file and it works fine (I haven't
sent it to the printer yet, that is a hassle for me, but I do it
sometimes).  You have to be sure to specify file output when you
reconfigure the printer from the global menu.  Did you do this?

Hope this helps.

It is a lot easier to diagnose problems when you give some details,
rather than: "So far I've been singularly unsuccessful."
