doug@jhuvms.bitnet writes that PS files uploaded from Macs to Sun don't get printed. We had similar problems (different specific machines), ie. PS files uploaded from a micro. Turned out in the end that there was a blank line prepended to the file, before the '%!' line. Alastair Allen Dept of BioMedical Physics University of Aberdeen UK. allen@biomed.abdn.ac.uk

After several unsuccessful attempts to print a PS file of unknown origin from a Sun to an Apple LaserWriter I changed the first line in the file from %!PS-Adobe-1.0 to %! and the file printed just fine. I am a new PS user; hovever, the strange thing about this problem is that everything appeared to be going fine during the queueing and printing. The PS file just never came out of the printer.
