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 ?

Thanks , bye
Claudio Benedetti
