I have printed successfully Postscript output generated by PageStream V1.0
and V1.5 on a DEC Scriptprinter. The only problems I have encountered so
far are printout of special characters like *pi* and the setting of the
top margin (usual 1 inch offset problem). The DEC Scriptprinter had ver-
sion 47.2 of Postscript installed. The Postscript files were tranferred
via UNITERM from the ST to a VAX (in text format) and then printed like
any other Postscript file generated on the VAX.
If you are using a Laserwriter you should check for the wiring and for any
special start sequence required to get it in the right Postscript mode. As
far as I remember from previous discussions about this subject on the net,
the Laserwriter requires 'special treatment' to work with the ST.
Check as well the communication protocol on *both* sides !
