I recently *found* some postscript files that I would like to print on a
HP LaserJet IIIsi, the problem is the files were done on a MAC.  The files
specify the LaserWriter II as the printer, the following was clipped from
the top of one of the files:

	%! *** Created by macps: 
	/macps save def
	%!PS-Adobe-2.0

My question is, How can I re-convert these to print on a HP LaserJet?  I see the
files are already wrapped with "macps" and "Laser Prep" was used on them to add
the LaserWriter II as the printer.  I tried changing the LaserWriter stuff to 
LaserJet but it didn't work.  I also tried re-running "macps" and "prepfix" to
add the LaserJet but "prepfix" blew away more than half of my test file!  Any
ideas or suggestions other than "forget it" are welcome, thanks.
