Has anyone had problems printing TeX files on Dataproducts LZR 1260 laserprinter? Postscript files which print correctly on the LaserWriter come out double height on the LZR 1260.

We upgraded 2 LaserWriter+ to LZR 1260's. We use TeX extensively
and as far as I know, we've never had any incompatibility problem.
After all, the PostScript interpreter on the LZR 1260 is Adobe's
(V47) and the printer has all 35 LaserWriter+'s fonts.

Some DVI-to-PostScript converters are very well written, and will do the right thing on any PostScript printer. You won't get the best results of course, if you use pixel fonts with the wrong resolution, or if you use write-black fonts on a write-white printer or vice versa, but the result will always come out at the right size, and at the right position on the page. Others depend heavily on a particular type of PostScript printer, or even on a particular revision of the PostScript interpreter. I don't know what DVI-to-PostScript converter you use, and I haven't seen the output it generates, so I can't tell you what goes wrong, but I would guess it does something like @@setmatrix'' with fixed arguments.
