- I have this problem as well, but only when printing postscript from
- Win/OS2. If I use an OS/2 app, like PM Chart, the postscript is fine.
- Is there a problem in the Win/OS2 driver? I haven't tried installing
- a "regular" windows 3.0 postscript driver yet. BTW, I don't have
- TCP/IP yet, and always print to a file and then move it up to my Unix
- system to print. Gives me the opportunity to tweak the postscript
- code by hand tho :-).

- I'll let you know if I find any solution
