There is a typo in comment #1, it should read
"switch in your PostScript printer that it prints out PostScript errors"
It is a PostScript printer internal setting whether or not
it prints error messages when its built-in PostScript interpreter
fails.
If it is not described in your printer's manual how
to let it print out PostScript errors, you should ask
the vendor or the manufacturer of your printer if and how
their PostScript printers can be switched to do it.
Usually in a PostScript printer you can switch on that it prints out
PostScript errors if it fails to process PostScript so that you get
a PostScript error printed in such cases so that you know that it
was your printer which failed.
Unfortunately those PostScript error printouts are usually disabled
so that the user is not informed what went wrong.
Of course it saves a lot of paper (and money) when the one sheet
with the PostScript error is not printed by default and apparently
it costs nothing when then users need a lot of time to find out why
a particular document does not print... :-(
I do not say that the typcial PostScript error printout text
is meaningful for normal users but at least they would know
their printer somehow does not like their particular document.
