Whenever I try to print files from dvi2ps (as distributed on the Unix TeX tape) on our Imagen printer running Ultrascript, I get an error -- an invalidaccess from a "put" command. Before I investigate further, I wonder if anyone else has seen this problem and fixed it already. -- Joe Weening Computer Science Dept. weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Stanford University

Most versions of dvi2ps have this (and other) PostScript bugs. The problem is that the font is being `defined'---and then data is being `put' into the font dictionary. It's a no-no, but most Adobe interpreters will accept it. UltraScript (and many others) will not. Solution: use dvips. Other solution: look at the dvips prolog and your dvi2ps prolog, and make the appropriate changes. -tom
