Hello friends, We have been having a very annoying problem with Windows, and I'd like to know if anybody can help. We have Windows version 2.03 and In*a*vision 1.10. We typically draw something with invision, then print it to a "virtual" Postscript printer, i.e., a file, then download it to a Unix Machine and print on our DEC LN03R. This works well for MS-Write, and even Paint (though it's an icky bitmap). However, from invision, sometimes it works, sometimes not. And when it doesn't work, it seems to do some nasty stuff to the printer's innards, stuff it probably ought not to do, like mess with it's battery backed data. So cycling power doesn't help; my users get very upset when PS files "worked last week and don't today." At any rate, there appears to be some correlation between this one guy trying to print invision pictures (that fail), and subsequent flakiness of the Postscript printer. WHY??? Anybody know? thank you very very much. honest. rob (sorry for the wide distribution - please try to followup to comp.windows.ms) rob@asrcmv.albany.edu
