I'm having some problems printing some PostScript documents.  I'm using our  
local (Sun) network's Apple LaserWriter. I have it in /etc/printcap correctly,  
have it setup on the servers /etc/hosts.lpd, etc...  I can print normal  
(ASCII) documents, so I think everything is OK.  When I print PostScript  
stuff, though, I get errors like this from ehandler.ps:

----
ERROR: typecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: get

STACK:

/Encoding
/findfont
/findfont
/
/Helvetica
/_NXHelvetica
----

I ran "fontloader Helvetica | lpr -Pnetlw" (netlw is my local name for the  
laserwriter), and figured that would fix it.  Well, it didn't.  I've tried  
printing it straight from WriteNow, and also saving it to a .ps file and  
printing it from there.  Neither way worked.  I've pretty much run out of  
ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated!
