Hello, Lately we have received several postscript level 2 documents with level 2 specific commands. Unfortunately our lab only owns postscript level 1 printers. After a quick talk with our local postscript expert (expertise being relative to the knowledge of those surrounding the expert), I was under the impression that it would be impossible to print the files. But a reading of FAQ's 11.32 and 11.33 suggests that there possibly exists a postscript driver capable of emulating or discarding level 2 commands from level 2 files so that they may be processed by level 1 printers. We use SunOS 4.1.3 and would like to know if any such driver exists for our environment. Thank you, Eric Masson
