I would appreciate any help with the following problem (knowing nothing
about postscript):
I am trying to print a postcript file from a Macintosh "MacScan" program
on the main laser printer (Printserver 40, Running postcript version
48.something) , here at UNE.
The problem is nothing prints out, however no errors are reported
I have two "MacScan" outputs, one is "Encapsulated Postcript (EPSF)" and
the other is just postcript:
The First:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%Creator: MacScan (TM) by New Image Technology
%%Title: test1.ps
%%CreationDate: Thu, May 4, 1989 9:14 PM
%%Pages: 0
%%BoundingBox: 0.00 0.00 00622.08 00636.96
%%EndComments
3 dict begin
/h 02592 def /v 02654 def
/buffer h 7 add 8 idiv string def
gsave h 300 div 72 mul v 300 div 72 mul scale
h v 1 [h 0 0 v neg 0 v]
{currentfile buffer readhexstring pop} image
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
etc etc etc .............
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
grestore end
The hexstring above is all one line.
And the Second:

The hexstring above is all one line.
