Stefan,

You are printing the contents of your "ascii text" file, by specifying a "text
printer". You need to specify, that the LPS-40 should interpret the "text" as
Postscript. I do this with the following VMS Command :-

	>print/queue=printer/param=data=post file.name

Try calling VMS Help > Help printserver.
