Problem with printing ps.map output

Hi all,

I have been using ps.map to generate PS outputs very successfully.  However, I
do have a problem right now.  Here is my backgroud information:

Computer	IBM RISC/6000
GRASS		4.1.3
Printer		HP LaserJet IIISi
Maps		I used r.contour to generate several contour vector maps with
		different contour intervals (say 5, 10, and 15 units)
PS files	I used ps.map to create PS files, only one contour map was used
		each time.  The ps.map always gave me a successful message.
Printing	I, then, ftp those PS files to a PC with HP laserJet IIISi
		printer, and simply copy the PS files to the printer port.
Problem		Only the PS file with 10 units contour interval can be printed
		and the 5 and 15 units PS files failed.  The printer printed
		an error message as below:
		ERROR: limitcheck
		OFFENDING COMMEND: rlineto

The problem apprantly is not caused by the density of the contour lines.  Can
anyone help me solve the mystery?  Thanks in advance.
