I have two short questions. Can anyone help?
1) How can someone print to a postscript file in Microsoft Word?
(there is a way in Matlab and in MacWrite but Microsoft was
unable to tell me how to do it in Word, though the support
staff was convinced you could do it).
2) How do you change the printer password sent to your laser printer
from a Macintosh?
I'll give some context for the last question so people can perhaps
help with the real problem. It recently came to the attention of
our network manager that there was a worm/virus/trojan horse around
that screwed up laser printers by changing the password for the
Postscript engine. The password defaults to 0 and the virus relies
on this. So, we changed the password.
Our IBM printing software we have adjusted to this change. No-one
here knows how to adjust the Macintosh software to allow us to send
the new password to the printer so our files will print. Since the
laser driver is a centralized construction, this ought to be easy
to do, provided you know where to look, which we don't.
I would greatly appreciate any help from any readers.
