	Make sure the first two characters of the file are:

		%!

	Otherwise the ln03rof filter assumes it's normal text
	that has be converted to a postscript program to print
	the desired text.  As far as I know the LPS{40,20} only
	take Postscript programs.

	I'll try, but this is probably also of general interest.
