The "encapsulated" is the problem.  This includes a Macintosh QuickDraw
"preview" in the file.  You need to use the "Save as..." option and click
the "None" option for "Include preview".  This will give you an ordinary
ASCII file of PostScript code that a PostScript printer should be able
to handle.
