I have an HP LJII and recently I bought the Adobe PostScript Cartridge and
the Adobe Type Cartridge 1, now I need to enable the accented and tilded
characters used in Spanish. I know almost nothing of PS but from a book I
bought I copied a program which is supossed to do that but I can't print
nothing, not even a blank page. There is some PS wizard around kind enough
to tell me what's wrong with it?

My word processor uses this prolog (it works right), I tried sending it to
the printer before the previous stuff without any difference.
