Several months ago a release of the printserver software included postscript
code which defined some additional postscript commands that some other printer
manufacturers chose to implement in their printers.  I believe something like
LPS$STATUSDICT was the file name.  We added this to our postscript device
control library on the VMS side.  So now when we get some postscript code that
dies we try printing it with PRINT/SETUP=LPS$STATUS ...   On the Ultrix side we
modifed xlator_call to add another datatype which prepends this file to the
postscript.
