- Lars,
-
- Without seeing the actual hardware, it is difficult to be sure,
- but the symptoms you describe seem to indicate a communications
- problem. For starters, I would get a copy of a PostScript
- exception handler (If you want, I can send you a copy of the one
- that I use, it is in the public domain). You may also be seeing a
- problem with flow control and character settings between the
- printer and the terminal server.
-
- I hope that the above is helpful. If I have been unclear, or if I
- can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me by
- email or phone.
