Postscript Printing Problems.

[James Nord]

Ahh that one :-)

The defauklt in Postscript for this driver is to prepernd and append a
ctrl-D character.
This confuses the Filter.

Also the Driver sends a PCL job control header  before the postscript -
this also confuses the filter.

The Filter then doesn't recognise this so sends the job to the printer
as text - hence the output you see.

You can (in NT4) control these options I think you also can on 98.
Or upgrade the Linux print filter.

Good luck,
