- I'd be VERY happy if someone could tell me if they succeded printing on
- the new Canon (model clc10 as they call it outside US) from a SUN using
- FrameMaker (or any other packages I should ask).
-
- Unfortunately Canon does not provide yet a driver (neither a postscript
- interpreter) for the SUN so I connected it on a MacII on the same net
- which runs the "Freedom of Press" postscript interpreter and a spooler.
-
- Using the above settup anyone on the net can specify "color" for
- the printer name in their FrameMaker and get the output send to the Canon.
- The problem is that the prolog that the FrameMaker on the SUNs is using
- is not the same as the one on the FrameMaker on the Mac, thus the
- Canon gives me the anoying "Dictfull" error message I mentioned some
- time ago to this newsgroup.
- (since then I discovered that I could save .MIF format on the SUN,
- then load it on the Mac and print the file from there, which works just fine!)
-
- Anybody got a better FrameMaker prolog file I can use when sending to
- Canon ? (or it's just OK to replace the one on the SUNs whith the
- one I uploaded from the Mac ;-)
-
- thanks in advance,
