ps2pdf fails with enigmatic (meaning "useless") error

I'm trying to convert a PostScript file to PDF using the ps2pdf from
gs-common. Both ps2pdf and ps2ps fail with this set of messages:

Error: /rangecheck in --image--
Operand stack:
--dict:7/7(L)--

Current allocation mode is local
Current file position is 9949495
ESP Ghostscript 815.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


This error is of course of no value whatsoever in solving the problem. The
PostScript file prints fine on an actual HP printer.

I tried every set of options I could think of for ps2pdf with the identical
result. This does not appear to match any bugs at bugs.debian.org.

The original is in PageMaker so I can't try Openoffice's PDF abilities.

Any ideas?
