[comp.sys.mac.misc] trying to print Mac PS files on Laserwriter IINTX using Unix spooler

Hello Netlanders,

I am trying to print Postscript files created on a Mac Plus (Using Command-K)
on a Apple Laserwriter IINTX. Shouldn't be a problem, BUT: the Postscript
files are generated at home, the printer is at the office. I convert the 
files to MSDOS-text files, read them on a PC with Ethernet and put them on
a Unix SysV system. 

The above seems to work, I get sound looking files on the Unix system. When
I spool the files to the Laserwriter (using the raw PS device) the LaserWriter
send me an email response:

Offending command: setdefaulttimeouts. 

This command can be found in the LaserPrep code just below %%BeginProcSet 
I have used Xpress to select a LaserWriter II on the Mac, the LaserPrep is 
version #68, the LaserWriter driver is V5.2

Who can help me on this one?

TNX    Wilko
