 I have printed successfully Postscript output generated by PageStream V1.0
 and V1.5 on a DEC Scriptprinter.  The  only problems I have encountered so
 far are  printout of  special characters like *pi*  and the setting of the 
 top margin (usual 1 inch offset problem).  The  DEC Scriptprinter had ver-
 sion 47.2 of  Postscript installed.  The Postscript  files were tranferred  
 via  UNITERM from the ST to a  VAX (in text format) and then printed  like 
 any other Postscript file generated on the VAX.
 If you are using a Laserwriter you should check for the wiring and for any
 special start sequence required to get it in the right Postscript mode. As
 far as I remember from previous discussions about this subject on the net,
 the Laserwriter requires 'special treatment' to work with the ST.
 Check as well the communication protocol on *both* sides !
