The sed script that Steve Dorner posted here which cleaned up the apple LaserPr
ep file so 0.8 would print it doesn't work in 0.9. Fooling around, I discovered
that the reason is that Steve's script puts a gsave at the very beginning, rig
ht after the %!, and ends with a grestore. These are what 0.9 doesn't like! So
here is the trivial modification of Steve's sed script, which when run on a com
mand-k generated postscript file turns it into something that 0.9 will print:
-----cut here------
1i\
%!
402,421d
82,83d
20,24c\
/ok true def\
/LW false def\
/waittimeout 300 def\
/fc {} def
8,18 d
-------cut here---------
Of course, once you have run this on a single command-k generated file, you can
cut off the bottom little part (the stuff afte the lines
%%EndProcSet
%%EOF
and save the result as "prepend". On subsequent goes, you need only prepend thi
s "prepend" to the much shorter file that command-f generates on the mac.
Who knows what wonders 1.0 will bring.
