	I had a problem printing PostScript files. I now found out
(through trying wiht another printer) that the problem was with
the 'lettertray' keyword. 
	I removed this keyword from my .ps file and attempted to print it
again. This time, it printed part of it, but not all. It stoped with
'UC LOAD LETTER' (load letter in inferior tray). I know that the file has
nothing to do with 'letters', as it is an electronically distributed 
magazine, and it seems that simply erasing the line with 'lettertray' on
in was not enough. The part of of the ps with the mentioned keyword is:
...
AldusDict2  begin
%%BeginSetup
statusdict /lettertray known {statusdict begin lettertray end} {letter} ifelse
