I have an Apple Laserwriter Plus, and printing the header file produced
by windows doesn't work. I posted the header file to comp.lang.postscript,
and a whole bunch of people said that the file is not 100% valid!
Could someone from Microsoft take a look at this, and tell me what's
going on? The printer is attached to our Unix mainframe, but I've taken
all sorts of measures to bypass the filters.
And while you're at it, why is there a ^D in the output produced by Windows?

The ^D indicates that a new page is to be started. Some (all?) postscript printers won't print anything unless you wrap the postscript text in control D characters....others won't print IF you wrap the postscript text in ^D !!
