[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Laserwriter + and Laserwriter II

I need some info from Postscript programmers if there are any out there - I
had Microsoft Works create a postscript file on the mac and I needed to print
it on a Laserwriter + (reason is that the Laserwriter + is connected to a
Apple IIGS and not a mac (printer is also not in a appletalk network) so I was
wondering, I tried sending the file to the printer via a serial modem cable
(with Din 25 plug on the Laserwriter + end(connected to the serial port and
set it to 1200 bps) but the Laserwriter upon sending the file to the printer
said a few lines 'Invalid command flushing to end of file' job incomplete. 
(The job incomplete message am unsure of the exact terminology) but the file
itself was in Courier font (which I had thought the laserwriter had as the
internal default font - am I missing some sort of file to tell the laserwriter
that I want to dump something out to it? - any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks... -Brent Johnson
