This often happens when your postscript interpreter is out of memory (the job is too complicated). It happens all the time on our imagen printers. The imagen ultrascript software does not print more than 10 pages without bombing. Do you have a consistent copy of the laserwriter / laserprep icons? I have also seen similar senseless errors (offending command: div) when trying to print a system 6.0 postscript file, using system 5.2 (or earlier) laserprep files. Does the problem happen on *all* apple laserprinters? Then you can probably assume it's either (a) A bug in Adobe Postscript (b) A bug in Apple's laserprep header.
