We have a Colormate PS printer from NEC here on demo for 1 day and I can't seem to find a quick way to generate color Post-Script. o The DECstation print-screen customization has a color option in the menu, but it isn't selectable... o The pbm2ps utilitity seems to strip color information out of the data stream... (I tried: fbcat -P < some-color-GIF | pbm2ps if there's something wrong with that, I'd appreciate advice) I suppose I should have been suspicious of the random utilities before the printer arrived for testing, but that's water under the bridge. I don't seem to be able to generate any color test prints. The quickest thing I can think of is to locate some archive somewhere with some color PostScript files on it just to see something come out of the printer before they take it back. Does anyone out there have anything I could use as a test print? Please just email, this posting is probably offensive enough to everyone; followups might generate flames.
