Subject: using pap(1) with networked DeskWriter560C ?

Has anyone managed to spool to a Macintosh network-connected
DeskWriter560C (or any of its kin)? I can create a file of raw printer
data using gs(1) and send it to such a DeskWriter560C using pap(1) (I
found that I have to add a ^Z to the end of the file to get the last page
to eject). All pages print correctly; however, pap never exits, and
papstatus(1) reports the printer as "busy" forever. When I eventuall kill
off pap, the printer stays "busy" for part of a minute, then returns to
its idle state.
