I recently *found* some postscript files that I would like to print on a
HP LaserJet IIIsi, the problem is the files were done on a MAC. The files
specify the LaserWriter II as the printer, the following was clipped from
the top of one of the files:

My question is, How can I re-convert these to print on a HP LaserJet? I see the
files are already wrapped with "macps" and "Laser Prep" was used on them to add
the LaserWriter II as the printer. I tried changing the LaserWriter stuff to
LaserJet but it didn't work. I also tried re-running "macps" and "prepfix" to
add the LaserJet but "prepfix" blew away more than half of my test file! Any
ideas or suggestions other than "forget it" are welcome, thanks.
