   Postscript should start with a '%!PS' followed by more text at the
start, though Apple's Postscript driver spits out a line before that
for displaying the job name on the screen. The Laserwriter IINTXs at
Caltech ate the nonstandard first line and printed normally, while
some Compaq printers barfed if the PS file didn't start with '%!PS'.

   Looks like the Mac at Kinko's has gotten less friendly about what
it accepts as Postscript.
