The printer prints fine from the Mac. The problem I am having is that when
I print from the laptop using the win 98se printer driver, I get one line
of mostly text that starts with 51PS=QT and has a bunch of other letters,
numbers and a couple of special characters. The line of text is the same
whether I am printing text or graphics. The printer was working fine
yesterday (nothing added or changed in the setup).
I am guessing that the postscript driver got trashed somehow. I have
deleted the printer and removed the files that were used just for that
printer and reinstalled a couple of times with no improvement.
Does anyone know what the name of the postscript driver is so that I can
manually trash and reinstall it? Or does anyone have any other ideas?
Have you tried reinstalling the printer driver? I don't think there's a generic postscript subsystem under Windows - there are usually a bunch of DLLs that have the printer communication information. If the driver is messed up, removing the printer won't fix it. You'd had to reinstall the existing driver, and make sure it replaces the files. I don't know if that'll help or not, but hopefully it will...
