[comp.sys.mac.misc] help needed - printing mac generated postscript files

shaulm@ (Shaul Markovitch) (04/25/91)

 I have SE30 connected via Apple Ethernet Card to a Sun
network.  We have Apple LaserWriter (IINTX) on the network.

Currently I am doing the following for printing:
I modified the laserwriter driver to always produce
postscript (as suggested in the postscript hints located
in sumex-aim).
I installed macps on my Sun.
I transfer the postscript files to the sun and print them
using macps (which adds the corrected header).

Everything works fine except non-laserwriter fonts.  for
such fonts, the mac notifies me about sending the bitmap
versions of the font, but the printer rejects the generated
postscript files.

Does anyone know the possible cause (and solution...) for
this problem?  I am using Laserwriter version 5.2

Another question - does anyone know about a more elegant
way of printing using the above configuration.
(ideally I would like to just select "print" from the menu
and that's it)

Thanks for your help
