Help needed printing from WP 5.1 to DataProducts LZR 2665

I am trying to print from WordPerfect 5.1 to a DataProducts LZR 2665
printer (attached to my mainframe). The DP printer is supposed to be
Postscript compatible ("enscript" is available on the mainframe, and
works). WordPerfect 5.1 does not have a specific driver for the
DP LZR 2665 model. So I tried using the AppleLaserwriter Plus driver to
print the Postscript file to disk, then upload that file to the
mainframe and send it to the printer.

RESULT: I get the output, but with WRONG orientation (Landscape instead
of Portrait) and WRONG font (a bigger, & italicised font).

If I use the generic Postscript printer driver that WP supplies, I get
NO output at all. On the other hand, a Quattro Pro 3.0 EPS file prints
just fine (using QPro's generic Postscript printer driver).

Can somebody suggest a fix (such as going in and editing the PS file)?

Please note that I have NO knowledge about PS! I am, however,
willing to simply go in and do a couple of "Search and Replace" type of
changes (which presumably I can later on set up in batch mode), but not
major edits.
