Cc: decwrl::"comp.unix.sysv386.usenet" Hi.. I am using Interactive Unix 2.2 and Texas Instruments MicroLaser P25 (25 fonts Postscript). This is System VR3.2. This also have HP II emulator too. I turn on PS on and even with dumb model lp, printer does not get Adobe PostScript header. I mean this printer will not print under PS environment if text file is not PostScript Format. It appears that Interactive Unix's lp environment took out some of Adobe PS header. Can you please send me PostScript model file or any hint on setting up connection between Unix and PostScript printing? Thank you for your time. willy

I mean this printer will not print under My experience, under HP-UX, was that the 'dumb' model was not dumb enough -- it tried to write a banner first. I created a 'postscript' model by removing every echo(1) in the 'dumb' model. Try this for yourself. Copyright restrictions, plus a bunch of portability qualms, make me very reluctant to post or email my model file. Henry Troup - BNR owns but does not share my opinions | The .signature is the P.O.
