I FTPd a PostScript file from nic.ddn.mil directly to my Mac (ascii/macbinary disabled) and have been unable to print it as a PS document. All I get is the ascii file with all the PS commands. I have a MacII AppleTalked to a LaserWriter IIntx so it looks like I have all the tools without the knowlege. I am looking toward all of you to fill in the blank space between my novice ears. Please email (moynihan@trwind.trw.com) me directly if you would. Thanks in advance for your help. Bill Moynihan

>All I get is the ascii file with all the PS commands. Similarly, I have scads of PS files, which at the moment I send to the printer using an in-house tool. Since the LaserWriter driver puts out PS, then PrintMonitor queues it up for sending... why shouldn't I be able to manually insert my raw PS documents into the print queue? The big question is, Apple went to the trouble to add a "Print to PostScript File" switch in the dialog box. What do they expect us to do with the PS if it can't be pushed back into the PrintMonitor? [Not that I'm complaining -- the PostScript File option is beyond useful.] Thanks, --Jon -- _____ ___ _ _ Jon Howell: jonh@pogo.wv.tek.com | My life's quest is to |_ _| / _ \ | \ | | 6417 Sorrel | find a computer to call for a _| | | |_| | | \ \ | West Linn, OR 97068 | UUCP login (mail & news) that's |___| \___/ |_| \_| 503/657-7964 | local to 503/657- or 206/756-
