   I mailed a PostScript file (created on a NeXT) to a Sun. The Sun can display
   the ps, but they can't print it with a Sun ps printer.

   Any ideas?

I've found that I sometimes cannot print real postscript on sun
SPARCPrinters (which currently have a sun postscript clone, NeWS).  I
never have trouble printing them on a cheap QMS (with real
postscript), or for that matter, ghostscript.
