This will make the printer show the picture, as opposed to waiting for more PostScript, which is what the printer would otherwise do with _encapsulated_ PostScript send the file to your printer. lpr, or whatever your site's print command is, should work, because the first line of the file should tell the printer, "I'm a PostScript file." Hope this helps. Susannah Skyer Technical Author Quantime UK
