[comp.periphs.printers] Info: MS Word for Windos to Imagen Ultrascript

oran@vlss.amdahl.com (Oran Davis) (06/01/91)

Hi networkers,

I'm new to this group so maybe this came by.

I'm using Microsoft Word for Windows to print through Ethernet to a remote
lpr daemon on an Apollo (Mentor) UNIX box. The printer link works fine.

Windows requires (?) that you load a header.ps file to the printer befor printing.
I generated many header files for all their supported printers and they all seemd
to be identical. So I just load one once only and it remains loaded.

I'm printing text and graphics, graphics comes out fine! text does not!
I use this printer to print all my Sun Apollo Postscript stuff from many
applications (FrameMaker, Cadre, Mentor etc. etc.), with no trouble.

Questions:
o Can any one tell me where I've erred. Do I need a special header file?
o Does Word for Windows use a special flavour of PostScript?
o Ultrascript (Imagen) Postscripts seems to be well behaved apart from this?

Thanks very much in advance.
