- Greg,
-
- I have been though this king of problem many times with different
- printers and systems. To find out what is causing the problem,
- start by loading an exception handler into your PostScript
- printer. Then (hopefully) the error which is causing the printer
- to have a problem will be signaled by a page being printed. Then
- you are in a better position to track and eliminate the problem.
-
- I hope that the above information is of use. If I have been
- unclear, or if I can be of further assistance, please feel free
- to contact me via Email or phone.
