They are Photoshop files , from a Mac G3 - 300MHz , we use AdobePS printer
with the latest HP2500 ppd file from HP

Here i'm printing from a Mac , the application is FreeHand 7.0.2 , the
documents
are Photoshop eps files. the strange thing is that using ppad show command
the
"level" field shows 1 , but the Laserwriter 8500 is a PS level 3 .

A similar error occurs with a Tecktronix Phaser740 (colour PS3) : when i
print B/W
everything looks good , but if i try colour images i got a postscript error
; here is the
output of a ppad show command:


Printer name: Phaser740
