Our printers are LaserWriters.  I'm trying to print the documentation
for ET++.  As distributed, it is a MS Word document, but a postscript
version exists on apple.com.  It was apparently created using command-K
or something similar.

I've tried just printing the postscript file using lpr, which is how
I print most any other ps file.  Only 9 pages come out (of 34) and the
printer hangs.  In addition, footnotes appear in what I am guessing is
Geneva (ultra ugly, whatever it is).  Furthermore, although the
document starts out in Helvetica, on page 4 it suddenly decides to 
switch the whole document into that same ugly Geneva.

OK, I applied the techniques given by macps22 and replaced the
md dictionary with the one obtained from prepfix.  Exactly
the same results.

Why does this document make my printer barf ?  The ET++ paper looks
real good, at least the first 9 pages do anyway.  I'd love to see
the rest...

Thanks in advance,

Eric
