Just a question when you boot GS/OS with the laserwriter driver it does not show up on the DC control pannel. When you change the name of the laserwriter driver to something else, it shows up and you can go into Appleworks GS and print to it. If you press open-apple F it prints to a file on the disk. If you download the file to a unix system and try to print to a postscript printer, nothing works. Only problem is, is there a way to print encapuslated postscript on a regular postscript printer? Is ther a unix utility which will change the file? Or is there a program on for a mac in which you can load in AppleworksGS files and print it on a laserwriter? thanks .

The key I found was to edit the postscript file and remove the first line or so of control characters. The first line of the file should begin with %!PS-Adobe.... This will probably clear up your problem. /chris ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@islnds.enet.dec.com| | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: islnds::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!islnds!shatara | =============================================================================

Haven't tried this with GS postscript files, don't know if it'd work. There's a unix utility called 'macps' that will munge the 'appleprep' header file so that standard laserprinters will accept the file. Been a couple years since I had to go and find it, try the sumex-aim ftp site at stanford, or your local macintosh archive. --Chan ................
