Dave, it's unclear to me what kind of Postscript file you are sending
to a remote laserjet4plus printer. If you examine it first with
ghostscript and/or ghostview, and it looks good on your screen, it
shouldn't need any translation to show up on a Postscript printer:
lpr should work.

However: people often put strange filters into their remote printer
entries to make it work just right for *them*. In particular, certain
LaserJet setups add characters at the front to wake up the printer.
You might take a look at the Linux equivalent of a "printcap" entry
for the printer and make sure on each machine that nothing strange
is going on.

If you feel like sending the Postscript to me, or putting it on a web
page, I can try it out on an LJ4m at work here and with ghostview and
see if it works correctly.
