We recently received a donated Tek Phaser II (color Postscript) printer with
drivers. I've been trying to test the Windows 3.0 drivers provided with the
printer.
Unfortunately the printer is connected to a Mac so I have to create the PS
file on a disk and then use a program on the Mac called "Send PS" to send
the PS file to the printer.
This works ok for the sample files provided on the disk, but *I* can't seem
to generate anything that will print. I *thought* I should be able to use
the Windows Paintbrush package, choose the right driver, then "print"
whatever I wanted. The Mac "Send PS" program displays the first part of a
PS error message "[ error;" then won't tell me more.
I've tried sending EHANDLER.PS to the printer before I print, but the error
messages don't print? Does the Phaser need an enhanced EHANDLER.PS?
Is it that Paintbrush is to dumb to really write the file correctly? There
are color PS commands in the output file; EHANDLER and my B&W PS printer
tell me so!
Any ideas would be greatly apperciated.... Please email me at:
