We just got a couple of LaserWriter Pluses in the department, and being
adventerous tried changing the printer name with the attach PostScript
program.  This always results in the following error showing up in the
log file:

	%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setprintername ]%%

From reading in "PostScript Language Reference Manual" the program appears
to be correct.  The "setprintername" command has a dagger after it, along
with a number of other "set*" commands, but I cannot find what the dagger
means.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

========================= SetPrinterName.PS ===================================
%!
serverdict begin
statusdict begin
0 checkpassword
	{0 exitserver}
	{(Incorrect Server Password!!)= flush stop}
ifelse
(PSU/CS-LaserWriter0) setprintername
end
===============================================================================
