Looks a lot like ghostscript is barfing on your Postscript. Please
tell me you didn't generate the Postscript with a Micro$oft print
driver for some funky printer, rather than a simple Apple Laserwriter
print driver. You might also want to update your ghostscript
to version 5.50 at ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/
