From: "Ufficio C.E.D." <info@sertosi.it> Date: Wed, 3 Nov 1999 07:59:13 +0100 Subject: R: PPR: Postscript problems I have solved my problems simply changing the data format from binary to ASCII in the Mac print window ; now everything works great . Now i'm looking for a browser interface for job handling : something to hold jobs , reorder jobs in queues and so on ... Has someone developed a package or something else that can do this (because i beleave that the browser way is the most user friendly an platform independent) ?
