Hope this is in the right group! I am trying to run Microsoft Word 4.0 on a PC whose postscript printer is out on the net somewhere. Sun PC/NFS is used to managethe connection to the remote printer. Can anyone out there tell me what I need to do to be able to print on a remote Postscript printer with such a setup? The Sun documentation tells you that you need to make certain changes (when running Word 3.0) but these do not seem to do the trick at 4.0. The problema appears to be due to the way Word handles postscript, i.e., there is a separate header file which contains a bunch of defines, etc., which is downloaded to the printer (once, I think) and then the actual documents assume that this pre-defined support exists in the printer. Somehow things get screwed up on a shared networked printer. If anybody out there knows how to solve this problem I would love to hear from you!
