Still having ps printing problems
I installed 1.2.2, but find that I'm still having difficulty printing directly
to an AppleTalk printer.
In 1.2.1, I was able to print by saving to a .ps file and then removing
certain lines with this script:
wissago{hoymand}31: more lprexec
grep -v __NXsheetsavetoken $1 | lpr
In 1.2.2, printing produces this message in /usr/adm/lpd-errs
Mar 5 09:07:05 wissago Server:303AppleTalk[2737]: wissago:hoymand - start
Mar 5 09:07:09 wissago Server:303AppleTalk[2737]: Reversing page order
Mar 5 09:07:12 wissago Server:303AppleTalk[2737]: PostScript error:
undefined; OffendingCommand: undef
Mar 5 09:07:12 wissago Server:303AppleTalk[2737]: Status: [Error: undefined;
OffendingCommand: undef]
Mar 5 09:07:13 wissago Server:303AppleTalk[2737]: wissago:hoymand - end
Looking at the .ps file I see:
wissago{hoymand}32: grep undef ejoeguide.ps
/undefineuserobject{UserObjects exch null put}__NXbdef
currentdict /NextStepEncoding undef
So, by adding undef to what I take out:
grep -v __NXsheetsavetoken $1 | grep -v undef | lpr
I can print again. Phew, what a mess.
Additionally, I have to report that the courier font is not aligning
correctly, which had also been the case in 1.2.1. It looks right in Executor
Word 5.1, but it's printing a bit off, the left margin is ragged when there
are spaces at the beginning of lines.
If you want a sample, ftp from joe.uwex.edu:/joe/doc/ejoeguide.ps, and look at
Figures 2, 5, and 6.
