PostScript IS NOT GENERIC. So turn the question around. What PRINTER
do you want to print on? Now use the matching driver.
Other hints: HP drivers are the least generic of all; go into printer
setup (from Control Panel, not an application) and turn off the
Control D option.
The 'out of memory' problem is either true, or a consequence of using
an old version of GhostScript; I think later versions lie more
convincingly about how much memory they have.

There are only two PS drivers for Windows 95, so far as I know. The
microsoft one, which came with Windows 95, and the AdobePS 4.1 driver.
The latter has more bug fixes.
