Though it's nice that PS gives you the ability to get real error messages out of a piece of printer hardware, that's an incredibly wasteful way to go about it, in terms of both time and trees. (On my Sparc2, GS is about 70 times faster than a laserwriter...) Since GhostScript is free and runs under X11, SunView, and MS-DOS, you really don't have *any* excuse for killing all of those trees... -- Jamie PS: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z
