From: "Ufficio C.E.D." <info@sertosi.it> Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 09:16:22 +0200 Subject: PPR: Postscript problems Some days ago i wrote about problems spooling to an HP plotter and an Apple LaserWriter 8500. Now i've disovered the Apple's printer trouble ; it was due to CR / LF conversion when i copied ppd's files in the PPDFiles directory . so now the Laserwriter prints correctly , but i still have problems with the HP plotter ; here i discovered that problems become only when i try to print large files (about over 38 MB) . Please notice that sometimes i have to print 130 MB or more . I have a problem too with a Tecktronic Phaser 740 colour printer ; when i try to spool i get this error : WARNING: 6531538 characters follow EOF mark WARNING: Requested medium is not listed in the media database WARNING: default medium as modified does not exist %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: image ]%% So , how can i solve these problems ?
