[comp.lang.postscript] pscal problems...

I have seen the output of the calendar, and it is very nice.  However,
I'm having trouble with the shell script.  When I do a "pscal 3 1990", I
get the message:  "pscal: imprint: not found".  I can't figure out what to
hack to get it to work.  I got the calendar to print by separating the ps
code from the rest, then inserting the constants literally.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

				-Thanks,

Sorry to have left out of my posting that there will need to 
be a little local modification.  The line in the shell script
where it says:

	LPR="imprint ...

is a localism from around here.  What you need to do is find
out what the local PostScript printer command is to send the
output to the printer without further interpretation.  What
you see here is a hack that works at Bell Labs Lincroft, NJ.
You might need to change it to something of the form:

	LPR="lp -ocat"

or some such.  Also the -d option is a localism to my personal
UNIX-PC and printer which send the output to the printer directly
without the lp spooler.  Otherwise the status messages get lost
in the great bit bucket in the sky.
