The typecheck occurs because the interpreter is expecting integers
but getting floats. My PS changeset collided with another change in
2.6, a new #roundTo: implementation that will convert integers to
reals. It should be fixed in the 2.7alpha update just sent out by
Dan.
The setcolorspace is a Level 2 command that doesn't exist in older
Level 1 implementations. The update should also provide cover
implementations.
As I do not have a Level 1 printer handy, it would be interesting
for me wether the update works for you.

Marcel
