I have access to a Sun laser writter on a unix workstation, and I am trying to
print WordPerfect 5.1 documents on this printer.  I tried selecting the HP
Laserjet II (Postscript) driver in WordPerfect and replaced the output to a
filename instead of lpt1.  I then uploaded the postscript file to the unix
machine with kermit in text mode and tried to print it.  The printer gave an
error message (C5 I think), and then removed the file from the queue without
printing anything.

I have a friend who successfully printed the a file created in MS-Word using a
similar technique.  I compared his and my postscript files and mine seems to
have a slightly different format, but both files can be displayed successfully
with ghostscript. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I can mail my postscript file
to anyone who would like to have a look at it.  Thank you.
