I'm having trouble printing Postscript dumps from Aldus Freehand 2.0 on a DataProducts LZR1260 connected to a Unix machine. I am using macps and the laserprep files generated by prepfix. (Both programs from info-mac archives) My problem is that the files DO print, however the ``aspect ratio'' is wrong. That is, they are coming out, BUT the output is taller than it should be - all the graphics are stretched vertically. Normally I use encapsulated postscript files in my LaTeX documents (BTW, thanks to all who replied to my previous problem) and they come out just fine, but I can't do this when the pictures I want to print are bigger than an A4 page. I have tried two documents: 1 - Fits on a single a4 page. 2 - Consumes 4 x A4 pages and uses the auto-tiling feature. The results were: 1 - Output flows off bottom of page. (i.e. it was stretched) 2 - Only the bottom two pages were output. Horisontal tiling OK, but picture still stretched vertically (i.e. bottom parts of the pages that WERE printed flowed off bottom). Should I be using a different LaserPrep file? (The document uses the LaserPrep dictionary version 5.2 (aka AppleDict 68 0)) Thanks in advance... please e-mail responses.
