Since I've upgraded my system to 6.0 I can't get postscript files to print on our system. We have an Apple LaserWriter+ hooked to a network of machines running UNIX. I've uploaded a new version of the header (from a file printed with command-k), but when I cat it onto postscript files (created using system 6.0) nothing prints. I don't think it's any of the obvious problems (like adding %! to the start of the header). I had this working fine with the previous version of the system. What has changed with system 6.0 to cause me problems and what can I do to fix it? -ME (please email responses - I will post a summary if I get a solution)

ERRATA: (!) :)
I said pressing k and f while printing has the same effect.
I meant: pressing k or f has the same effect als command-k or f etc.
Summary: To print, the prep file inclusive: press F
To print without the prep file: press K.
End of summary.

Can somebody tell me how to print a PostScript _file_? That is, one
that has been saved with the option-P or whatever while printing with a
LaserWriter driver? Is there software out there that will send a
PostScript file directly to the Laser?
I have a bunch of PS files waiting to be printed....
Thanks,

Maybe a newer version will do more, but I don't know. You can find it in the sumex-aim.stanford.edu ftp archives, or if you don't have access I can mail it to you. --- Alex UUCP: {att,backbones}!ucbvax!qal.berkeley.edu!lauac INTERNET: lauac%qal.berkeley.edu@ucbvax.berkeley.edu

One of our staff members wrote a postscript program to plot data generated on VAX/VMS system. They used to just transfer the program and data to a ibm-pc and dump it to the laser printer on the pc. Now they have a MAC and want to do the same. How would one do this on a MAC? I suggested loading it into MS_WORD as a graphics object and then print it. Is there a MAC utility that dumps a file to the printer without doing anything to it? John Mireley Dept. of Chemistry MI State Univ.

If you just "print" them, you get the ASCII text, not the postscript result, of course. I believe there is a shareware utility some where that also will do this - sorry I dont know where to get it, but i've heard it exists. ======================================================================== Richard Fozzard University of Colorado "Serendipity empowers" fozzard@boulder.colorado.edu

If you have MicroSoft Word, the easiest way to send PostScript programs to your printer is to give them the _style_ called PostScript from the default style sheet. It's too complicated to explain in a 10-line post, but look up PostScript in your MS Word manual. -shabtai

I frequently get postcript files from the net that I want to transfer to my Mac and print on a laserwriter. I don't know how to do this. I have a program called "Printgate" that used to work but there seems to have been some changes in many of the postscript files that I get and they now come out of the printer upside down and backwards. I'm getting tired of reading these things in a mirror so if anyone knows of a public domain program for handling this job I'd appreciate hearing about it.
