[comp.lang.postscript] How do I print LaserWriter ps files on a Digital printer?

devernay@POLY.POLYTECHNIQUE.FR (Devernay Frederic) (06/05/91)

My problem is that I want to print Apple LaserWriter postscript files on
the Digital laser printer linked to the vax, I know how to generate a ps
file on the Mac, but when I print it on the Digital printer, I only get
the title page.

Is there a problem of compatibility?
How can I solve it?

We've had similar problems at our site (we've got the Laserwriters and PrinterServer 20's.  It turns out that there is a known bug in the PrintServer, and the last I heard (don't take this as official, call DEC customer support - I heard this through the grapevine) was that they were aware of the bug, but I didn't hear whether they were going to fix the problem.
