I am trying to print Mac generated PostScript files on our VAX/VMS Cluster with a PrintServer40. When I print the files, I get an MD not recognized error and no printout. DEC says I need to load the Mac ProLog file onto the PrintServer40 and it will work but they have no idea how to do that. I called Apple tech. support and they didnt know what I was talking about. Adobe didnt know either. Can anyone out there help???????

However, it contains 68000 code for the Apple Laserwriter and will not work as-is on the DEC LPS40. Some modifications to the header file are necessary. I have modified headers for versions 65 and 68, with 68 being the latest LaserPrep as supplied with System 6.0.2. The Postscript generated by the Mac is dependent on the Laserwriter version in your system when it was created. You need to send the appropriate header file before sending your Mac generated Postscript. I was going to make these publicly available on gatekeeper.dec.com, but since they're copyrighted by Apple this probably isn't possible. If you make a request, I'll email them to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Yang mikey@ernie.berkeley.edu Thor says "hi" mikey@decwrl.dec.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------
