We have had difficulties in printing postscript files on a Sparcprinter. Specifically, the problem is with postscript figures (created using Xfig and fig2ps) included in a latex document using psfig/tex. An ellipse in the figure appeared as a (smudged) diamond on the Sparcprinter. Several other printers (QMS, TI, HPlaserjet with Postscript, AppleLaserwriter) printed the document with no problems. We tried printing the documentation file (ug.ps) that comes with the Trever Darrell's psfig/tex utility, on the sparcprinter. Only 5 or 6 pages of the document got printed and the printer abandoned the job with some error messages. Again, we have had no difficulty with this document on other printers. Sure, the SPARCprinter is MUCH faster than any of the other printers we have used. Any pointers/suggestions? ..Ramesh..
