Sometimes when printing out documents which incorporate object-orientated
graphics from word-proccessors on the Mac (inc. Word 3.01, & possibly Write
Now & MacWrite), the LaserWriter Plus responds w/ the error:
	Offending Postscript command: Imagemask.

What coases this, & is there any way to get around it.

We're printing from MacPluses w/ 20meg hard drives (Apples, I think).

To remain compatable w/ the systems on disks we lend out, which haven't
enough room for the latest system, we have 3.2 on the Laser systems.
The LaserWriter & LaserPrep's are 4.0.
