SPARC printer problem

2007-12-25 7:34:00

It turns out that NewSprint 2.0 (out "soon" according to the Sun support person,

no idea on when "soon" is) can print files generated by a NeXT. Looks like

we'll need the update.

**ORIGINAL REQUEST:

SITUATION:

Sun SPARC Printer being served from a Sparc 2. Printer serves Sun 3/50's,

ELC's, Sparc 2's, and 1 NeXT machine.

Software:

        SunOS 4.1.1

        NeWSprint 1.0

        OpenWindows 2.0

        NeWSprint interpreter version 2.1

NeXT: Uses PS-Adobe-2.0

PROBLEM:

PostScript files generated by the NeXT cause the following error message

from the SPARC printer:

%%[ Error: Message: Process: 0x29feb4 (Unnamed process) Error: undefined

Stack: /Times-Roman vm('X11/NeWS server pool')

Executing: sharedvm

At: {currentvm *sharedvm 'eq'}

In: {'pop' *currentshared}

In: {/currentshared 'where' array{2} array{1} *'ifelse' array{2} array{24} 'ifelse'}

In: Reading file(?,W,R)

/Times-Roman vm('X11/NeWS server pool')

]%%

The manuals imply that if you can use pageview to preview the file,

then the file should successfully print. From OpenWindows, with the

pageview command, I can successfully preview the postscript file.

This file prints successfully on our QMS and Apple Lasers but not on

the SPARC printer.
