We have a NeXT cube attached to our regular UNIX machine whose
laserprinter we can use from the unix machine by typing
% lpr -Pnp file.ps
to send a postscript file.ps to. It's worked with some stuff I
downloaded off ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu before, so I know the setup
works. However, when I tried it with a postscript file I obtained
on the Mac by pressing option-k or option-f, it would not print,
complaining of a postscript error.

Could anyone tell me what is the correct way to produce postscript
output from a Mac to send to a NeXT's laserprinter?

Email and I'll summarize... thanks.
