Problems printing graphics with LW 6.0

I have a MacIIcx with System 6.0.3. I print to a postscript file using
the version  1.3 of the printmonitor, and version 5.2 and 6.0 of the
LaserWriter. The postscript file is uploaded to a unic=x box (binary
format), and I use macps to send it to the printer through the Adobe
Transcript software. The header files are appropriately munged for
this, I believe.

Printing graphics from SuperPaint II and other programs, either
directly or as inserted in MS Word 4.0 documents work well with the
5.2 LW software, as does printing straight text.

Printing the graphics using the 6.0 LW software results in the printer
aborting the output with the message 

%%[ Error: stackunderflow; OffendingCommand: exch ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

Printing text does not cause any problems.

Any suggestions?

In appreciation,
