[comp.sys.mac.misc] Printing to a remote LaserWriter

We are trying to send Postscript files prepared with LaserPrep and
command-k to a LaserWriter attached to a remote system. In theory, this
should work without a hitch, but in practice, some graphic shapes are
not drawn correctly.

Vertical lines are problematic, with most of them skewing off the page
entirely, and some circular shapes are distorted into long flat
ellipses.  Text works okay, and mixed text and graphics work together in
part.  It does not seem to have anything to do with where stuff is on
the page; i.e., it not just occuring at the beginning or the end of the
file.

Of course, the same file prints perfectly on the same LaserWriter hooked
directly to a Mac.  Does someone from Apple have any experience with
this sort of problem.  I have seen messages from others indicating that
they have also run into this sort of thing....
