Could this be a disk or memory problem? For example, can you
pre-process the Postscript to be tiffg3 with a variant of the "fax2ps"
script?

A lot of UNIX setups have a rather small partition where "spool"
lives.  Converting Postscript to tiffg3 takes a *lot* of disk, because
neither of those are really written for compactness as I understand them.

In addition: Microsnot's drivers for Postscript are some of the
ugliest behaving creatures in the known universe, and I've also had
some difficulty with the LaserJet 4m Postscript drivers. Try using the
Apple Laserwriter drivers: larger resolution documents, but they seem
to work better with weird images than the HP ones.
