[on a print server] You must be using a DEC PrintServer 20 or PrintServer 40 on a VMS system. The "print" command by default assumes you are trying to simply print a text file on the PrintServer. There are two ways to execute a PostScript language program directly without having it printed as text: (1) Use the "/parameters" option to your "print" command: $ print/param=(data_type=PostScript)/que=PrintServer foo.ps (2) Have your system manager create a "PostScript interpreter" queue for your PrintServer (e.g. named "PS_PrintServer"). Then your "print" command is: $ print/que=PS_PrintServer foo.ps Hope that solves your problem. John Gaffney Adobe Systems Incorporated ...!decwrl!adobe!gaffney
