Hi, We've just installed the new version of transcript, and I'm having a couple of problems getting dvips to work properly. The problem has to do with PPD files. dvips includes the following line: %Feature:*Resolution: 300dpi and the transcript software bombs on it. I'm using the HP IIISi PPD file, which doesn't contain any *Resolution: ... entries. So there's the problem. I read the 130 page PPD specification, and still can't figure out if its a PPD file problem, or a dvips problem. I am guessing that it is a PPD file problem, since *Resolution should be valid. In the HP PPD file, there are *DefaultResolution and *?Resolution entries, but no *Resolution entry. The examples in the spec also do not have any *Resolution entries. In the spec. it states that the entry in a *DefaultResolution must be defined in a corresponding *Resolution entry, so what gives. If anyone can help, that would be great. Otherwise, maybe someone out there knows a mailing address for Adobe. I coiuldn't seem to find one in the docs. By the way, we're running transcript 3.0 on an HP 720 running HPUX 8.05. Thanks, Robert Estes estes@eecs.ucdavis.edu
