Does anyone know when PS 3 first began being used? I am having compatibility problems between Corel Draw 5.0 (I know, a really old version) and a Fiery which requires PS 3 .. My thought is 5.0 can't handle the PS 3. Your thoughts?

What do you mean by PS 3? Do you mean PostScript 3? EFI Fiery RIPs do support PostScript 3, but they also accept PostScript Level 1 and PostScript Level 2. You don't need to send PostScript 3 to them. CorelDRAW does a reputation for producing "interesting" PostScript (it generates its own and passes it through the driver). Your problem may be as simple as changing some of the output settings or just a bug in CorelDRAW. CorelDRAW 5 is exceptionally old; current version is 10. Maybe they have fixed some bugs since then. - Dov PS: PostScript 3 was launched in 1996 (if I recall correctly). First printers shipped the next year. CorelDRAW 5 is older than that!

PostScript 3 was introduced in 1999. But no printers "require" PostScript 3. I think you should give specifics of the PostScript errors - don't assume it is a simple incompatibility. Aandi Inston

CorelDRAW 5 had many bug in its initial release. Most of them were connected to printing *separations*, not composite. I do not remember the build numbers anymore, but revision F or G does work as expected on both Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. I've heard about the 'interesting PostScript' thing many times, but the fact is that CorelDRAW did download a Ctrl+D character at the beginning of each PostScript file those days, and all the Mac users couldn't handle it. We have NEVER had ANY problems with output from CorelDRAW 5.0. We did have problems with Illustrator 4.0X, however! Jacob Sch�ffer Grafikhuset

PostScript 3 was definitely before 1999; more like 1997 in terms of actual printer availability! - Dov

The last relaese of CD5 was G1. You can get the Update from ftp.corel.com (?) or on a CD from Corel. AFAIK CD5 creates his own PostScript, but does not support PostScript 3. The first Version to support PS 3 was CorelDraw 8. CorelDraw up to one of the last releases of CD9 and Acrobat Distiller (since 4.0 ?) are not compatible. Seperated PS will end as a multipage color PDF.
