Sigh... doesn't work properly... the job aborts >without printing anything, due to a missing command "sgd". I'm also having problems with printing to lwsrv from a Mac upgraded to System 7. In my case, no matter how I massage the "ProcSet", I am unable to get anything out of the printer besides a blank page (not even a PostScript error page). I captured the PostScript output from lwsrv, and noticed that 2 copies of the AppleDict header were being sent to the printer. I then created a procset file that basically consisted of just: %%BeginProcSet: "(AppleDict md)" 71 0 %%EndProcSet This resulted in only a single copy of the header being sent, but only blank paper comes out of the printer. Has anyone been able to get lwsrv to work with output from LaserPrep 7.0? At this point, I'm interested in *any* solution (no kludge is too ugly). Needless to say, my disabling of all printing as a result of this upgrade has severely damaged my chances for "Miss Popularity" in this year's pageant.
