A similar situation, we create postscript on a IBM PC and send it to
the SUN for printing. 

Many packages insert control-d's into their PS files.
Control-d is the end of job character in postscript.   
It sounds like there's a control-d before the actual end of job,
therefore it blinks a while and times out, producing nothing.
To test this theory, use vi and remove the control characters, then
use lpr to print.
