[comp.sys.mac.misc] Need help getting SendPS to work

khosla@ux.acs.umn.edu (Inder Khosla) (07/08/90)

I have been trying to get SendPS (version 2) to download a postscript 
file created using cmd-k in the print box of an application. I have no 
problems in getting the file to be created, but every time I use SendPS 
and instruct it to download the file, it comes back with the following 
error message:

STACK:
{{{--printerstatus----dup---1 --eq--{--pop----usertime--6000 --add--{--
dup----usertime----le--{--pop----exit--}--if--}--loop--2 {--resetprinter
--{--exit--}--if--}--repeat----printerstatus----dup----1 --eq--{(
%%[ PrinterError: Controller not responding ]%%[ Error: invalidaccess;
OffendingCommand: def ]%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will 
be ignored ]%%

The laser printer happily prints the document directly from the 
application, but if I create a postscript file and send that to the 
printer using SendPS, nothing but frustration!

Any ideas on what's going wrong and how I can get this to work?
