Help!

I'm trying to use an Apple Laserwriter-IINTX for both Interleaf & SunTrac.
The problem I'm running into is that everytime an Interleaf job is printed,
it leaves some memory resident program around that makes my SunTrac jobs die.
The error I get is 'dictfull'

I was wandering if I could either:
 1. Exit the Interleaf program in memory after the job is completed, or
 2. Reset the printer's memory after an interleaf job.

Option #2 is the one I'd prefer, but evidently it's not too easy to do.
I've written some code to do this on a LaserJet, but have no idea how to do
it on a Postscript printer.  I believe there may be some Apple specific
functions to accomplish this.  If you could help, I'd much appreciate it. 

Thanx!
