Warning: I know jack about GhostScript. However, your configuration
sounds interesting, so please bear with me.

Ok, why are you using macps. For some GS specific reason? For the most
part, we've found no reason to run macps on our procsets. Assuming
you're not using System 7 LaserWriter drivers, the procset shouldn't
have anything interesting it.

From the error message, it sounds like the Mac is asking for a font your
GS doesn't have. When papd spools a job from a Mac, the Mac sends a
number of PostScript queries. One of these ask for the list of resident
fonts on the printer. Of course, the only way papd has of knowing this
is from its configuration. You might want to check if the font list
papd is configured with is the same as the actual fonts available to
GS. You can get the GS fonts easily by running something like
%!
FontDirectory { pop = flush } forall
Let me know if any of this works. Your configuration sounds pretty
unique, and is certainly nothing I've heard of anyone using.
