- I am attempting to include MacDraw figures into a TeX document
- using psfig and dvips and encounter the following problem:
-
- In System 7 it is possible to simply print a document as Postscript,
- rather than 'tricking' the printer driver into producing postscript
- via a Command-F. The postscript file that is produced is better than
- what one got in earlier versions of the system in that the printer-init
- appears to be included in the Postscript document. You can simply send
- this postscript file to a laser printer without any header file.
-
- Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work with psfig --- you get garbage
- all over the page. It is as if the header in the postscript file
- from the Macintosh is incompatible in some way with the headers used by
- psfig.
-
- Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
