[comp.sys.mac.system] printing problems - mac postscript through multi

roseman@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Mark Roseman) (06/22/91)

Here's the situation.  I'm dumping a PostScript file using the LaserWriter
driver that comes with System 7.  I'm then transferring the file to our
Unix boxes, and using the program "multi", which takes a postscript file
and prints it (in this case) 4-up.

However, when it prints, its only printing one page per sheet... the
other three "pages" are blank.  The second logical page then prints on
the next sheet.

Macps didn't work (based on older laser-writer driver anyway).  Any ideas?
Ideally I'd want either a fix for the laserwriter driver to generate nicer
postscript, or failing that, some sort of script (sed, for instance) to
convert the bastardized Mac postscript to something that multi will handle
properly.
