I am having problems printing postscript files on my standard printer
using Post V1.7.  I've installed the fonts that come with ghostscript
so there's definitely no problem there (I can view my .ps files on the
screen with no problem, and save them to IFFs...)

However, when I try to get post to print my document (typing
post init.ps file.ps) it complains with the message "post: can't get
page buffer".  What exactly does this mean?

If I try postband (calling it like: postband init.ps print file.ps),
it gives me a slightly different error message - namely:
postband: page size not set in preferences.

How can my page size not be set?  This is the first I've ever heard a
program complain about that - I was under the impression that once a
printer driver was selected under preferences, the page size was as
preferences tells you...

If anyone can shed light on this problem, please let me know!

Thanks....Dan
