We've recently received a DEClaser 2150 (LN05R) and are running DECprint
Printing Services under VMS 5.4-1.  What we would like to do now is
define a form to use a font other than the default Courier when printing
with /PARAM=DATA_TYPE=ANSI.  I've tried cobbling Rick Watson's LASER
symbiont HEADER_STR module, but I'm new to PostScript so I haven't had any luck.

TFM's we have are "DECprint Printing Services", "PostScript Printers
Programmer's Supplement", and "Level 3 Programming Reference Manual". 

Any simple examples would be very much appreciated.
