- Let me add my experience to this thread. Using LPRMON to direct LPT2 to
- a network printer, I can print Postscript just fine from DOS applications,
- but not from Windows applications. All the Windows apps put a single
- control character (which displays as a diamond) at the beginning of the
- output. This causes the printer to output an ASCII dump of the
- Postscript commands. I can get it to work by printing to a file,
- deleting the first character, and sending the file to the printer.

- I suspect that Ignacy has the same problem. My printer is a LaserWriter
- II NTX, by the way.
