Hello! I downloaded 'atm-tech-tips' and 'atm-something-or-another' from the Sumex archives (in info-mac/tech) and got the binhexed file transfered fine. Unstuffed okay. Then I whipped out Send PS 2.0 on the unstuffed files and neither of them worked. I'd like to know how to print them out on a IINT (of course it's a postscript printer!), if anyone knows how to. Also, why was it uploaded in PS form? Why not in a Word/MacWrite document like everything else?

I am sorry if this an oft asked question, but how do I print a postscript file? It's an ascii file that I ftped from my unix account on to my SE's hard drive. I very surprised that I am having such a tough time since so many apps use postscript to format their hard copy, I must be missing something glaringly obviuous.

Although anything that prints on an Apple LaserWriter needs to know about PostScript, generally the only Mac software that can send an existing PostScript file to a printer is software designed to do just that. Try grabbing SendPS or DistillPS from sumex.stanford.edu (info-mac/util, I believe) via anonymous ftp. -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu

I usually use word 4.0 to print the few PS-files I have. This is definitly not the best solution, but it suffices for the few times I need it. The procedure: go into word and open the ascii-PS file. Select the entire text and under define styles enter the style PostScript. Do NOT have it redefined (answere no to the aller message). The text selected should disapear (unless you have Show "q" on). Now print the "empty" document. -Robert

If you have access to MS Word: 1) Open the document with MS Word. a) if the document doesn't appear in the file picker, Cancel the Open... and pull down the File menu again, this time holding down the shift key. You now have the option of opening any file. 2) Select the entirety of the text. 3) While depressing the shift key again, pull down the Format menu and select All Styles.... Choose the style PostScript from the style picker and click OK. 4) Word will now recognize the text as PostScript(R) code and will send it to the printer as such when the document is printed. -- | | |====================| | | | Jason Watts | \ |\ |\ \ | (jazzin@uiuc.edu) |
