Could this be caused by the fact that files created on the Mac end comes across
as one line of text.  Previewers like Ghostscript don't object to this, but
if the file is very large, the printer might have memory problems.  

In a similar vein, does anyone have a simple piece of code, or csh script
that will replace the ctrl-M's with UNIX <cr>'s?
