I thought the easiest way to do this would be to create postscript files on the Mac (printing to a file with command-F during print), ftp 'em to the SGI and then do "psh ." Everything looks fine, but nothing happens. I tried "say -p " also with no luck. I would appreciate any help anyone could offer before I spend a lot more time on this. I looked at the postscript files, and have a couple of ideas: there are font downloading commands that look like %%BeginFont: Helvetica-Bold %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: Helvetica-Bold 001.004 %%CreationDate: Wed Sep 27 22:11:11 1989 %%BeginFont: Helvetica-Bold %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: Helvetica-Bold 001.004 %%CreationDate: Wed Sep 27 22:11:11 1989 ... eventually followed by lots of binary (?) data. Could that be the problem? There's also a document setup section right after the prolog that may be printer specific: %%EndProlog %%BeginDocumentSetup md begin T T 0 0 730 552 -31 -30 761 582 100 72 72 1 F F F F T T T F psu (Larry Hunter; document: Paper)jn 0 mf od %%EndDocumentSetup %%Page: ? 1 I'm fairly new to postscript (and unconvinced that humans should ever have to look at the stuff), and I sure could use some help...
