We have just installed a PC-NFS (version 3.0) Sun3-4 (version 4.0.1)
workgroup.  A Sun 3/50 is acting as our print server for a Sun LaserWriter
II.  The TranScript suite has been installed and works great for our Sun
systems but the PCs can't seem to utilize the PostScript features
available with this printer.

Our PC users would like to print MS Draw and Write files to this network
printer but even though these packages support PostSript devices, we
cannot seem to make this configuration work.  They can however print their
text files without any problems.

I have tried to move over MS Word PostScript files without success.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
