E/L, E/D postscript printing from DOS/Linux



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

folks,

recently i posted an offer to print any postscript files generated by 
E/DOS on my linux machine.  basically, i just did lpr file.ps and the 
printer does the rest - nothing special here is my point.

well, i was sent a .ps file from person using Exec/DOS who was unable to 
print the file. 

i printed the file in seconds without any problems.

here's my setup in case your wondering.

  computer : linux machine connect to printer via network 
  printer  : HP Laserjet 4si

additionally, i was able to obtain the exact same printout by using our 
HP Laserjet Utility program on one of our quadras, printing to a 
different HP Laserjet 4si.

so, it seems the files produced by E/D are ok, perhaps DOS or the 
specific printers you are using are choking on the files.
