- This is directly from the printers.wri file in your windows dir.

- 4.3 Printing a PostScript Print File in UNIX
-
- The PostScript printer driver inserts a CTRL+D key combination at the
- beginning of every print job to reset the printer. Because UNIX systems
- recognize CTRL+D as an end-of-file character, any print files you create by
- using the PostScript printer driver do not print in UNIX. You can correct
- this
- problem by removing the CTRL+D key combination from the print job. To do
- this, add the following setting to the [ModelName,Port] section in the
- WIN.INI file (where ModelName is the name of your PostScript printer
- model):
-
- CtrlD=0
-
- For more information about editing the WIN.INI file, see the WININI.WRI
- online document.
