   Dear maintaner of Ghostscript

I would like to share an interesting experience with you.

Trying to print the file
    http://staff.vscht.cz/mat/Pavel.Pokorny/entropy.ps
on a laserjet printer using gs 6.50 or gs 7.0 fails.
The resulting PCL file has just 2 bytes: 1B and 45 (hex).

Viewing the file on a display using gs is O.K. 
both in Unix and in MS Windows 95.
Printing the file using gs fails both in Unix and in MS Windows 95.

The solution is:
first, to convert the ps file into a pdf file using ps2pdf
and only then to use gs 6.5 to print the pdf file.

Could you, please, consider modifying gs 7.0 so that it can print
such files directly.
