I have a PostScript file of a color image that I would like to have
printed in landscape format instead of portrait format.  It currently
prints in portrait format without problems.  To change to landscape, I
inserted the following at the top of the file after Initgraphics:

90 rotate
0 -8.5 inch translate

Unfortunately, after making this change, nothing comes out of the printer.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Please reply to me at: jrh@techctr.deere.com
or follow up with another post.

Thanks.

John



The version that works looks like:

initgraphics

/rstr 585 string def
/gstr 585 string def
/bstr 585 string def

45.000000 567.000000 translate
702.000000 -522.000000 scale
1.000000 1.000000 scale
585 435 8
[585 0 0 -435 0 435]
{currentfile rstr readhexstring pop}    %read red data from file

{currentfile gstr readhexstring pop}    %read green data from file

{currentfile bstr readhexstring pop}    %blue red data from file

true 3

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
