I am looking for some information about postscript files. What I want to do is take a Macintosh generated postscript file and port it to a unix box and print it on the attached postscript printer. I guess I need either a conversion utility for the postscript file or a driver for the Mac that outputs the appropriate flavor of postscript. My target printers are a Fujitsu RX7100PS or a Data Products LZR-2600. Does anyone no how to do this? What is unique about Mac Postscript files anyway? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. gregg@ios.Convergent.COM

Has anyone had any luck with macps and LaserPrep 6.0.2 (The newest version, I think). I have made several attempts, and have had absolutly no luck. -Brian -- ** Brian Klaas, Design Engineer *** DISCLAIMER: All opinions ** ** Intel Corporation *** stated here are strictly my own. ** ** InterNET -> bklaas%cmdfs2.intel.com@relay.cs.NET UUCP: ** ** {hplabs,decwrl,oliveb,pur-ee,qantel,amdcad}!intelca!mipos3!sedona!bklaas ** -- ** Brian Klaas, Design Engineer *** DISCLAIMER: All opinions ** ** Intel Corporation *** stated here are strictly my own. ** ** InterNET -> bklaas%cmdfs2.intel.com@relay.cs.NET UUCP: ** ** {hplabs,decwrl,oliveb,pur-ee,qantel,amdcad}!intelca!mipos3!sedona!bklaas **

I have made several attempts, and have had absolutly >no luck. I have not tried this yet but if you have not uploaded the new laserprep and used the prepfix utility that comes with macps to prepare it and install it into the appropriate directory, command-F files generated on a Mac with that laserprep file WON'T work. If you have already done this, I don't know what the problem might be. Also, once I sent a note to the author of macps because it was not working on our system and he sent a fix. His name and e-mail address are in the macps shell archive file somewhere in case you have problems. -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM

Sorry, i missed the original posting, but yes... from the brief tests I have run, macps appears to be incompatible with 6.0.2 and 7.0b laserwriter drivers. 6.0.1 works fine. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris Silverberg INTERNET: macman@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute Main Street USA 508-832-7725 (sysop) America Online: Silverberg WMUG BBS 508-832-5844 (sysop) "Ask me about TeleFinder...
