[Apologies if this is not the proper newsgroup. ]
 
I've been using GNU ghostscript 2.52 on my 386BSD system to print
various manual pages, troff -Tps sources, and papers on my 24 pin
dot matrix printer.  Mostly these print rather smoothly.

Lately, I've got a few postscript documents (like dvips.ps) and other
papers that have been initially created in TeX, apparently with dvips,
and ghostscript doesn't like them.  In particular, the top line says
PS-Adobe 2.0 instead of PS-Adobe 1.0, and they look quite a bit
different than the postscript I'm used to.  Ghostscript errors out
usually with "undefined error -rangecheck in get".

Is there something I'm missing?  Do I need a patch or some other
conversion utility to print this flavor of Postscript?
