Couldn't print file because of malformed PostScript
Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: printerdevice
Try adding these hacks to the beginning of the file and see if it
does any better:
/letter { } def
/legal { } def
/note { } def
The "Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: printerdevice" indicates
that it is trying to set a paper size that perhaps confuses the
NeXT interpreter.
That makes sense - I had originally thought I was overrunning a job
size page limit or some such, but couldn't find those knobs anywhere
in the printer configuration.
If the above hacks don't help, take a look at the beginning of the
file and see if anything jumps out at you that looks like the
setting of a page size. You can probably just remove them,
whatever they may be. Device-dependent anyway.
I didn't find any.
I hope that helps.
Yep, that did the trick for both 1128 and 1129. Thanks!
