- If the "Sun laserprinter" in question is a SPARCprinter or NeWSprinter
- 20, you don't need to use "ps trimmer' whatever that is, at all.
- Upload the PS and print it, it works just fine.
-
- If it doesn't, file a bug against the NeWSprint software, cause they
- told me it worked when I wrote the manuals.
-
- I am no longer with Sun, so this isn't a plug. :)
