- We have a Hp LaserJet II with an Adobe Postscript cartridge.
- We just moved this from a PC to be the system printer on an SGI
- The SGI is running 4.0.5 and the BSD lpr software. (Thanks to SGI for
- pointing out how to start the bsdlpr software.)
-
- A file created in Microsoft Word and uploaded to the SGI as a
- Postscript file prints fine. However, any Postscript file created
- from UNIX applications such as a2ps, FrameMaker, and Xprism2 will not
- print. The printer shows data being received (the LED flashes and the
- display shows processing data) but not paper ever comes out.
-
- Has anyone seen this before? Suggestions? I have included the
- beginning part of two files below. The first one from Microsoft Word,
- will produce hardcopy. The second, from a2ps, will not. (I have
- routinely printed Postscript files from all these sources on a
- different Postscript printer.)

- - part of the first file header that prints.
