QHAH.

I doubt whether your post will be seen by those who rely on
forums.borland.com for reading bpdvcu, as it was not injected there.
NGs therefore transposed.

You should give us the PostScript error message or messages, and state
what you know of the PostScript drivers - printer, PS level, ... -- it
is not right to conceal clues from those whom you ask for help.
