I have been working on some pap routines to send postscript files
generated by Tex and Scribe to a LaserWriter on Appletalk. For simple
files I have no problems. For more complicated files I get an error with
no error message. Send PS gives the same results. If I connect the
LaserWriter to a Vax via a serial connection they print just fine.

Does anybody have any ideas why this is ? Is there something that needs
to be done to reset the LaserWriter ? Does the AppleDict screw up
standard PS files ?
