Error when converting to Postscript format

Hi All,
I am trying to convert my file containing a image file (bmp,jpg, or gif ) into a postscript format on solaris.
I have configured the printer with following configuration,
PrinterName : psPrinter
Print Server : "machine name"
Printer Port : /dev/null
Printer Type : Postscript
File Contents: any
and the other options are default

I have configured a "QMS ColorScript 1000 Level 1" printer on my windows system and am using this ppd file on unix for conversion.
(I have converted the file using dos2unix).

When i give a print to file command, it does not give the desired output, in the sense if my file is 6 pages long, the ps file shows as 2 pages. Both the pages have the same content expect for the first page does not have the image intially when i move forward and then come back on page one it does show up.

I get the following error when i try to print that documnt
%%[Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show;
near position 171965 in currentfile ] %%
]%%
(OSTACK)
-savelevel-
(Amex)
(ESTACK)
{??}
//stopped
-filestream-
{//grestore}
//show
{error/initializing //get {handleerror} //if //stop }
(DSTACK)
-systemdict-
-userdict-
-dictionary-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job(to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
**Error: PostScriptJobAborted
-- Empty document

I have to get the output in ps level 1 format. What could be the problem, the images or the printer driver

PS: It works perfectly on windows system.
