HELP..

We have this Postscript code, which we use to print
Raw image files <Gray Scale>, we would like to know what modification/ code
we have to do to include a <one line description> of an Image. 


**************************************************************
%!
% The image file is of the format: 128X128

/inch {72 mul } def
/width 128 def
/height 128 def
/finalwidth 3 inch def
/picstr width string def

/dopic
{gsave
	width height 8
	[width 0 0 height neg 0 height]
	{currentfile picstr readhexstring pop}
	image
 grestore
}def
%----------------------------------------------
85 85 translate
finalwidth
finalwidth width div height mul scale


dopic


< 128*128  Hex Values >

showpage

**************************************************************

We tried including the following code with the above

50 650 moveto
(Description) show


We are using "pageview" on SPARC to view the result, and we are
able to view the description + image.  

The problem we face is when we try to print the same, we do not
get any output..!!..

thanks in advance.

May be you forgot to load a font first:

/Times-Roman 24 selectfont

50 650 moveto
(Description) show

You need to establish a font before setting text.  PageView uses
NeWS which has a default font established.  Do something like

    /Courier-Bold findfont 14 scalefont setfont
    50 650 moveto
    (Description) show
Alter the font selection and size to taste.
