I usually reply by direct mail, but several people seem to be having
the same problem, so I'll overcome my shyness and post here.

Our mac lab had the same problem, and here's what we did to fix it.
Following that is a non-technical description of what is going on,
please keep in mind that I'm not a programmer.

Try grouping the whole document together and then printing it.  All
you guys with this problem, please let me know if it works, I'm kindof
interested.

pseudo-explanation/discussion follows:

Some documents with rotated text only system error on the Plus, some
on the SE also.  If it didn't print on a Plus, try an SE, it might
work, and I don't understand why.  So far none of the documents that
have crashed either an SE or a Plus have crashed a Mac II (but this
makes at least a little more sense).

My understanding is that grouping a whole document modifies the
postscript code enough so that it will work properly.  I'd be
interested in hearing some ideas as to why, anyone?

Hope this helped,

Vaughan
