Situation;

PostScript file created with command F, later with command K.  The files are
then sent to a VAX (No probelms here).  The files are then sent to an Imagen
laserprinter, with Ultrascript as the PostScript interpreter. (The command
ipr -Pcx1 -LUltrascript filename.) Both versions of the PostScript file fail
to print.  The file without Laser Prep fails because unidentified commands
cannot be executed, and the file with Laser Prep fails because it uses Apple
specific items in Laser Prep.

I figure a PostScript file should print on a PostScript printer, yes?  I ag-
ree I might have a problem with the Ultrascript interpreter, but all the %%
lines are accepted.  Is there something wrong with my reasoning, or do I just
have to have a laserwriter?  I can give specific errors if that is needed.
Any help is appreciated.

		Thanks;
