Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac

Keywords: MAC POSTSCRIPT

 I have an old smudged photocopy of a posting off this board
about transferring a postscript file from the mac to a unix machine
where it can be printed to a postscript laser printer with the "lp"
command.  (The trick is to type cloverleaf-F right after clicking on
"OK" in the print menu.  Unfortunately, when I send the postscript file
to my unix machine, translate <CR>'s into <LF>'s, and issue the "lp" command
I get a header page printed out but nothing else.... sigh.

 I suspect that I need a macro file to send to the laser printer prior to
the actual print file... Does anyone have such a file, or can you suggest 
what I've done wrong?  (I would try contacting the author, Phillip E. Gardner 
directly but my photocopy is too smudged to read his address.)

Thanks
Steve Wilkus
