Greetings,

	I know others have requested this info but back then I didn't
pay much attention.  Guess I should have.

Here is the situation:

	A number of Windows and OS/2 workstations want to print
postscript documents to a printer shared on the network by an OS/2
1.21 server.

Here is the problem:

	None of the PS file print.  The print manager seems to be
modifying the documents before they reach the printer.

Here is the question:

	What can be done about supporting a Postscr*pt printer under
OS/2 1.21?  Is there a the PS driver available?  Is there a way to
send RAW PS to the printer without the spooler mucking with the data
stream?  The raw mode option in the print manager doesn't seem to make
a difference.  All PS files seem to be modified before they get to the
printer.

	Anyone with any clues?

	Thanx,
		_Marc
