I have an HP111 with the HP ps cartridge connected to a PC via a serial connection. according to the red book I should be able to open a file and write to it like this: (filename) (w) file (string) writestring however this produces a 'file not found' error (pserror 19 on the printer display) I seems like I need to get the filename syntax correct, i have been trying things like c:\\file, \\file, \file, etc, etc with no luck. I have discovered that (%stderr) (w) file (string) writestring does not produce an error, but also does not produce a file (that I can find.. I know a bit more about Postscript than DOS ) -- -george @sol1.lrsm.upenn.edu
