Hi ppl! I want to inform you that everything works fine over here with printing apple postscript files. After my query on the net a few weeks ago, I found out that in europe we don't need the frametoroket command. This command has probably something to do with the scaling of output printed as american sized on A4-paper (called a4small (what is that, anyway??)). After some fiddling with replacing frametoroket with copypage and showpage, some things worked ok but most didn't. Then a friend of mine (thanks Ernst!) tried to remove that piece of postscript in the LaserPrep, and after that everything worked fine! A lot of people have used it by now, and I haven't found a file (yet) which didn't print on our QMS printers (800+ and 810) on Ultrix and VMS. The piece of code we removed is the following: 1) find 'frametoroket' 2) go up in the file, till u see something like: 'LW 1 eq userdict...' 3) remove that line and the following lines TILL 'md begin/bigs[lnop ...' (so: do not remove this line!) After that everything should work allright. Good luck! Annard.
