[comp.sys.sun] Non-printing PS files?

doug@jhuvms.bitnet writes that PS files uploaded from Macs to Sun don't
get printed.

We had similar problems (different specific machines), ie. PS files
uploaded from a micro.  Turned out in the end that there was a blank line
prepended to the file, before the '%!' line.

After several unsuccessful attempts to print a PS file of unknown origin
from a Sun to an Apple LaserWriter I changed the first line in the file
from

%!PS-Adobe-1.0

   to

%!

and the file printed just fine.

I am a new PS user; hovever, the strange thing about this problem is that
everything appeared to be going fine during the queueing and printing.
The PS file just never came out of the printer.
