I'm having a problem with the new Laserwriter driver (version 5.2) that
comes with system 6.0.  I'm trying to use it to generate postscript
files (with command F) which I then download to the laserwriter using
Send PS 1.21.  This procedure works fine with laserwriter driver 5.0.

Here are the differences between the version 5.0 postscript file and
the version 5.2 postscript file.  (diff v5.0 v5.2)

These differences cause the laserwriter to return the following
error status.

I've deleted 11 of the lines for brevity.  Is this a problem with Send
PS or is it a problem with the postscript file?  Anyone have a clue to
what's going on?
