Well  this turned out to be easy.  We had configured the  printer
in  Windows  to be Encapsulated Postscript, rather than  Printer.
After setting it to Printer, all went smoothly.  I even tried two
versions  of  the  print file;  one converted from  DOS  to  Unix
format  and the other not.  They both produced identical  looking
output on the laser.

Thanks for the many email replies.  I hope I remembered to answer
each one.  If anyone else is having trouble printing to a file in
Windows  3, transfer file to Unix host, then print on  postscript
laser,  I  would  be happy to reply to an email request  for  our
configuration settings.
