[comp.sys.next] Need help on printing Macintosh Postscript files

ostertag@drinkme.cs.umd.edu (Eduardo J. Ostertag) (04/21/91)

I have a NeXTstation 040 8/400 (v2.1) connected to a Macintosh SE  via
a  serial connection (port B). The connection works great. I also have
a NeXT Printer, and I would like to print stuff from the Mac in it. So
I generated a Postscript  file  in  the  Mac  (using  command-K  which
includes the LaserPrep file), I sent it to the NeXT (changing CR chars
for  LFs),  and then I used "lpr" to printed it. Nothing happens. If a
check the printer queue (either with PrintManager or "lpq"),  the  job
is there, but the printer does not print it. The printer works OK with
WriteNow  files.  Any suggestions?? I checked FAQ and found no info in
this topic, and unfortunately I can't download NextAnswers (its to big
for my 2400 modem).

Thanks in advance,
