printing dvips output on HP LJIII postscript printers

this is probably a FAQ question, but i'm asking it anyway:

we have the following setup:

    1. a bunch of hp lj-iii's (various models) that are postscript capable
    2. adobe's transcript package
    3. sunos 4.1.1 on all workstations and servers
   
i have several dvips output files (without the TeX source) that 
i want to print.  these are easily viewable by ghostview and other
ps viewers, so i'm assuming that they're valid postscript files.

when i spool to these %&#(*ng printers, each one simply "eats" the
file, printing only the banner page.  our tech guys insist that these
are "standard" installations, and that the lj-iii's use the latest
postscript standard.  many suggested that i dvips these files myself,
but this is a moot point since i don't have the dvi files.

our printers *do* print all other postscript files that i have 
encountered.  the only exception are with these dvips postscript
output files.  

has anyone else encountered such problems?  does anyone have any
suggestions?  




thanks in advance.
