I am having a problem printing PC PageMaker's PostScript files
with a Mac/LaserWriter II NTX.

The PS files print as advertised in the PC setup. The pages
are simple text, shaded boxes, and _scanned images_.
The PS files have been created in PageMaker-PC, and printed
to disk as PostScript text. Several PC-download-to-printer
utilities (including LIST) will get the PS files to print.
No problems here.

However, using either Font Downloader, or DistillPS to download
these same files from the Macintosh...

	Errorlimitcheck; offending Command: s_imagemaskV33FFF ...
		.... many F's folow in the line, but certainly
		     not 65,535,
			as Henry McGilton suggests in answering
			Chengping Chang's question...

Help?

		Thanks,
		John Stremikis
