I tried feeding "Change of Address" cards (USPS Form 3576)
to the NeXT laser printer. The results were less than
impressive--the toner wasn't applied consistently (I don't
know if this is due to the thickness or the "cold press"
texture). Also, to get this to print with manual feed
I printed from Preview; if I then clicked "ok" it would
write 4(!) pages, 3 of them blank, so I had to explicitly
tell it only to print page 1. Note that I was too lazy to
figure out how to adjust the paper size; any hints on how
to do this "right" (other than comments on the PostScript
itself, it's not meant to be elegant)?

P.S. I've had much better success with HP LaserJet IIs for
printing on nonstandard materials--I thought they used more
or less the same mechanism?
