You should understand that the "Postscript dump"  you get from your
command-f, command-k, or selecting the new "postscript file" buttons
on the newer print drivers is really a debugging feature to examine
the postscript output from the drivers.  Is was never designed to
be anything other than a dump of the code.  That's why it isn't
cross platform in nature.
