- I have access to a Sun laser writter on a unix workstation, and I am trying to
- print WordPerfect 5.1 documents on this printer. I tried selecting the HP
- Laserjet II (Postscript) driver in WordPerfect and replaced the output to a
- filename instead of lpt1. I then uploaded the postscript file to the unix
- machine with kermit in text mode and tried to print it. The printer gave an
- error message (C5 I think), and then removed the file from the queue without
- printing anything.
-
- I have a friend who successfully printed the a file created in MS-Word using a
- similar technique. I compared his and my postscript files and mine seems to
- have a slightly different format, but both files can be displayed successfully
- with ghostscript.
-
- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can mail my postscript file
- to anyone who would like to have a look at it. Thank you.
