Dear Anyone, Another, alright a recurrent problem with interfacing Microsoft and Linux. The Department has a colour printer, a HP 5. This is connected to a PC running Windows. The PC is the only contact with the printer. I have a PostScript file on a floppy. I'd like to send it for printing, but no-one can tell me how this can be done. In the normal turn of events, where I had the file on the mainframe, I'd use the Unix command lpr. However in this case I have to load the file to the PC. I'm reluctant to use Distiller, although I know it would work. The end results always seem not to be up to the standard of a simple PostScript print. Any help etc., Bill Bennett. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
