[comp.text.tex] Laser printer dying on .dvi file

phd11@seq1.kl.ac.uk (A. Mcdonald) (03/08/91)

Hi Netters,

We have a problem in that our Brother ps-8 Postscrript printer will happily
print all manner of postscript documents (some of them are very complex
and of many pages), but will not print the smallest .dvi file
(generated by LaTeX).

We're using a unix box and using dvips, the printer lights say it's busy,
then after a while 'Ignore Data'  - it's way of saying that there was
something wrong with the postscript, but that can't be right as when we
send the same output to our AGFA 4000-PS everything's ok.

I've looked in FAQ for hints, and been watching the group for a while,
but no mention of this problem (it seems).

Any help at all would be appreciated.
