I have a postscript file which prints fine on our postscript
printer.  I am trying to include this file into a LaTeX
document as a figure.  I run dvips and try to print the new
postscript file.
The printer aborts printing the new file.

(A little debugging has pinpointed the source of the ``error''
 on an apparent encoding of text that appears in the file as
 a large block of numbers and letters...possibly hexadecimal
 run together.  When I comment the block out, the lines of the
 figure are printed ok -- no text)

So I am concluding that there is some negative interaction
with dvips and my file.  Is it possible that the postscript
file is a different `version' than what dvips assumes?

Thanks for any comments,
