Problems printing Encapusulated PostScript files

We are having problems getting Encapsulated PostScript (epsf)
files within another document to print out properly.   The parts
of the document containing the epsf files appear fine when viewed
with the GhostScript interpreter.  But when printed out, the epsf
files are altered.

The specific parts that get altered are these carat (^) symbols
that appear over other math symbols.  In the laser printout, the
carat symbols have been turned into larger V's with serifs.

The files that we are having problems with were originally created
in MacDraw Pro on a MacIntosh and the variables with the carat
symbols were created in Equation Editor and pasted into the
MacDraw Pro documents.  The MacDraw Pro files were then saved as
epsf files and ported over to a network of SparcStations.  Then
these files were included into LaTeX documents using the epsf
style file.  When LaTeXed and converted to PostScript files
(with `dvips'), the figures originally created in MacDraw appear
fine with the ghostscript interpreter.  But the laser printer
output corrupts the carat symbols to larger V's with serifs.

Any suggestions on how to get the laser printout to come out properly?

Thanks.
