I don't think you need a special utility to do this (print Mac-created EPS files on UNIX to a PostScript printer) Here's what I'd do: on the Mac, in the application in which you've created your graphic, print the PostScript file to disk send this new file (it should be the PostScript code) to your UNIX machine on your UNIX machine, check that what you've got looks like a PostScript program (i.e., readable code, not garbage characters) using vi, add the line showpage to the end of the file. This will make the printer show the picture, as opposed to waiting for more PostScript, which is what the printer would otherwise do with _encapsulated_ PostScript send the file to your printer. lpr, or whatever your site's print command is, should work, because the first line of the file should tell the printer, "I'm a PostScript file." Hope this helps. Susannah Skyer Technical Author Quantime UK
