There's documentation somewhere that says that "PSOUT(EBCDIC)" is purely
ornamental; to get usable PS, you must say (or default) "PSOUT(ASCII)".
Then, you need a sufficiently recent maintenance level of LPR that it
accepts the "BINARY" option.  Then, it works to LPR to a LaserJet IIIsi.
It doesn't work with our LaserWriter, but since it works with the
LaserJet, I tend to blame the LaserWriter rather than DCF or LPR.

Mail me if you can't find the APAR for the BINARY option.

The failure if "PSOUT(EBCDIC)" is a major violation of the 7-bit clean 
recommendation of the Adobe PostScript Language Reference.  I intend to
submit remedying this as a requirement to SHARE/GUIDE soon.

Good luck,
gil
