	I need to print a PostScript file (created by Amiga WordPerfect) on
an Apple LaserWriter at school that is connected to a bunch of networked
HP Chipmunks.  Unfortunately, the printer spooler says that "vmi" is undefined
when I try and print it.  My guess is that the network there has downloaded
their own default command interface (bad description...sorry) into the
LaserWriter, so that the shipped defaults don't work.  (Note that printing
this same file to an Imagen running "UltraScript" works just fine.)
	So is there a way to tell the LaserWriter to use its as-shipped
defaults for "this-file-only" ?  Any help would be appreciated, since I know
very little about PostScript or LaserWriters (except that the output looks
much better than my Epson MX-80).  E-Mail replies would be great.
	Thank you.
