Put the following commands in the PostScript file after the opening PostScript
comments, but before the text (these commands were found by running LW630.EXE,
the Diablo 630 converter shipped with Apple's AppleTalk PC Card):

/doDiablo { /printpageflag false def
             { statusdict begin
               (Courier) (Courier-Bold) 10 0
               /diablo load
               end exec
             } stopped pop
             printpageflag {showpage } if
          } def
doDiablo
