- Subject: Problems with printing of PostScript file
- Lines: 23

- Hi All,
- I download from ps-file-server@adobe.com documentation about
- Adobe Font Metrics files as a postscript file. After running
- the file through 'atob' program and uncompressing I finally
- get the desired postscript file. This file can be without any
- problems viewed (on NeXT) in Preview, but I am not able to
- print it out on NeXT 400 dpi Level II Printer. When I try to
- print it out, nothing is printed and on the Console I can see
- this message:
-
- Dec 11 15:08:39 mononext Server:Local_Laser_400_DPI[160]:
- DPS client library error: PostScript program error, DPSContext 564fc
- Dec 11 15:08:39 mononext Server:Local_Laser_400_DPI[160]:
- %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
-
- It seems to me very strange, especially because NeXT is a
- 'really true WYSIWYG' computer and what can be seen on screen
- can also be printed and as I said Preview had no comments to
- that postscript file.
-
- Thank for any help or comments.
-
- Bye Tom
