I had posted this once before...so please be patient ;)

We're trying to collect PostScript files from different Mac and PC software,
and then print off selected files.  We are using an HP LaserJet II with
Adobe's PostScript cartridge to do the job.

Unfortunately, Mac generated PostScript files won't print.  I captured the
Mac PostScript files by using either the Command-F or Command-K keys when I
clicked on "OK" in the print box.

When the Command-K file prints I get the error:
%%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: setdefaulttimeouts ]%%

I changed the timeouts to zeros and got the error:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ct ]%%

When the Command-F file prints I get the error:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: md ]%%

I called Adobe and they werre no help.  PC support said "It won't work
because of some 8-bit problem".  Mac support said "It should work".

I'm out of ideas here.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!

Jeff
