I am experiencing problems downloading PostScript files to a LaserWrite
Plus, could anyone out there shed any light on the matter?

I am producing PostScript on a Mac IIcx, from TeXtures documents (version
1.01a), using the print command with option-K (I have also tried option-F).
The chooser is configured to output to a LaserWriter although, currently,
no printer is hooked up to the system. The PostScript file is then
transferred to a Mac SE (via floppy) and downloaded to its LaserWriter using
SendPS 1.3. This invariably produces the error message:
	%%[error: unknown; OffendingCommand: md]%%
from within SendPS. Nothing is printed.

Is there an obvious blunder here? I've looked at the PostScript file and
have no idea why the make dictionary command (md) should fail. Any help much
appreciated.
