- I want to print a MS Word 4.0 file from a Sun workstation. To do this, I
- redirected the output of MS Word 4.0 to a postscript file using command-k.
-
- I then uploaded the postscript output to my Sun account. When I try to
- print it on a network laserwriter, (using lpr) it prints the postscript text
- verbatim, i.e., doesn't interpret it. For e.g., the first few lines of the
- printout looked as follows :
-
- %%Title: "Laser Prep -- The Apple PostScript Dictionary (md)"
