- I have the same problem. A Sun ps printer (SPARCPrinter) is not a PostScript
- printer (of course not, they would have had to pay some royalties). They use
- their own clone interpreter, which has bugs. I ve been told that these bugs are
- corrected in the last version of NeWSprint/NeWSprint interpreter (sorry, I
- don t know the version number).
