Dear PostScripters,

I have some complicated graphics produced by Mathematica and printed
into a PostScript file from a Macintosh.

This is rendered perfectly by GhostScript but causes errors when sent
to a LaserJet IIIsi.

Question - why should GhostScript (which I've been told is a poor
interpreter) understand my file when the LaserJet (which I've been
told is a good interpreter) won't ?  A typical error is

   ERROR: limitcheck
   OFFENDING COMMAND: setscreen

Is there some way of avoiding these errors ?
Please excuse my PostScript ignorance.
