I am trying to follow the instructions given in the devps manual but so far
have been unable to include graphics produces with MacDraw (and ilk) in
troff output when processed via devps. I am doing the following:
1) Print a dummy file to the printer from the mac, this initialized the
LaserPrep package which is needed to do any macintosh printing on the
LaserWriter. I would appreciate hints on how to do this from the UNIX
box rather than the Mac as I need to move switches everytime I want to
print from the Mac, very flimsy switches...
2) Print the file I want to include and hold command+F to create a postscript
file of the printout.
3) Transfer said file to UNIX box.
4) macroff said-file > said-file.ps
5) In my troff source I have the line:
.Pf said-file.ps 4 0
6) troff -Tps -mac troff-source | devps | LW
I receive no errors from the LaserWriter but none of the macintosh graphics
print either. When I issue 'LW said-file' I get the correct mac graphics.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can some kind soul help? Thanks - Yossie
