[comp.text.tex] Problems with printing TeX on IBM Pageprinter 4216

I am not able to print output from dvi2ps, dvialw and similar
dvi->postscript conversion programs in my IBM Pageprinter 4216
model 020 laserprinter.  The problem is that after printing
every page, the printer returns with an error message that
the page format is incorrect; it continues printing the next
page after being reset.  The page format has been set correctly
to A4 format, and there are no problems when printing ascii
files or Postscript files produced by other programs.  Only
the dvi file translation programs give problems.  I assume that
the problem is due to variable setting in the Postscript header
files.  Has anyone experienced similar problems in using the
IBM Pageprinter?  I am in particular interested in the solotions
for the dvi2ps (MIT version) and dvips (Radical Eye Software
version) programs.
