Subject: PC Microsoft Word 5.0 -- Changes To POSTSCRP.INI needed for networks
Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc,comp.lang.postscript,comp.laser-printers
Once again, Microsoft has issued software that works with directly
connected PostScript printers only -- networked PostScript printers
obviously aren't tested.
The changes required are all in the POSTSCRP.INI file. At the end
of the .INI file is a ^D that needs to be deleted, since the ^D
will cause the .INI header to be interpreted by many networks as
a separate print job from the PostScript that follows the header.
Also, there are six lines near the top of the file that check to
see if the header has already been loaded in or not -- these seem
to be a problem. Commenting them out allows our hybrid network
of Macs on Appletalk and PCs and Suns on Ethernet to all coexist.
The six lines immediately follow:
