Having had a similar experience uploading to a mainframe, I discovered the
problem to be that in the postscripted file written to disk by WP, the lines
end in linefeeds only, rather than in carriage-return/linefeed combinations.
As a result, the laser printer chokes up and barfs.

I mentioned the problem in the WP50 list on BITNET and someone sent me
a program a friend of his had written, that rewrites the postscripted file
with the proper line endings.  I don't know whether I can disseminate
the program, but you might ask a wizzard to write one for you.
