All Mac programs using the Laserwriter assume that the standard Apple
LaserPrep file of PS macros has been downloaded to the Postscript
device and has been allowed to install itself as permanently resident.
I won't comment on the inherent stupidity of this approach, but if you
append your file to a copy of the latest LaserPrep file and reset the
printer after you are through (either by manual reset or the PS
initialization sequence - cf. Inside Laserwriter or any reputable PS
book) it should work fine.
