   Try adding these hacks to the beginning of the file and see if it
   does any better:

	   /letter { } def
	   /legal { } def
	   /note { } def

   The "Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: printerdevice" indicates
   that it is trying to set a paper size that perhaps confuses the
   NeXT interpreter.

That makes sense - I had originally thought I was overrunning a job
size page limit or some such, but couldn't find those knobs anywhere
in the printer configuration.

   If the above hacks don't help, take a look at the beginning of the
   file and see if anything jumps out at you that looks like the
   setting of a page size.  You can probably just remove them,
   whatever they may be.  Device-dependent anyway.

I didn't find any.

   I hope that helps.

Yep, that did the trick for both 1128 and 1129.  Thanks!
