I have a postscript file that will not print. 

Generated by using psdraft (/mit/epeisach/Bin/psdraft) which was popular
a year or two ago.

I get back a zgram telling me:

	Your job, (stdin), on (calvin), was ABORTED;
	(0) pages wre printed, using the printer for (6) seconds.

I am able to print this file on an lps40 and an ln03R without problem.
Why was it aborted? The only reason I can think of is that
newpage/copypage is slightly redefined.

medusa% enscript -p /tmp/foo /etc/motd
[ 1 page * 1 copy ] left in /tmp/foo
medusa% psdraft /tmp/foo | pdpr -Pcalvin
medusa%

--------------------------------------------------------------
I found in Setup.sh a fooling about with newpage as well and we are
probably conflicting. We should determine what is happening as it is a
bug if I cannot change showpage to my own routine.
