Hello folks,
I've asked this question on the Imagen mailing list, but I thought maybe the
PS whizzes here had an idea:
We've got a user trying to print a file from Windows3 Write to a Turbo
Imagen with Ultrascript (not the latest system software with the PCL
upgrade, but the one before that). The embedded graphics print out,
but not the text. Trapping the Postscript that's being sent to the
printer and sending it to the GNU GhostScript interpreter produces
correct output, so I think the print job itself is valid PostScript,
although it looks very odd and is formatted quite badly.
I'm not a PostScript guru, but looking at the PS file, it seems to me that
it is trying to add extra ANSI characters to the existing Courier font
definition, and my guess is that this is what is killing it under UltraScript.
Has anyone had experience printing from Windows 3 to an Imagen, if so, and if
it worked, did you have to do anything special?
I had one response on the Imagen list to the effect that it was printing,
but was doing white on white, and that there was an updated windows driver
from QMS for the next release of Ultrascript, but not the current one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted Nolan

PS: Is there any "generic postscript" printer defined under windows? I would
think so, but I couldn't find it. Just finding an entry that fed from the
default tray took a while.
