I encoutered a lot of problems while using TOPS NETPRINT from an IBM PC
connected to a LaserWriter via an AppleTalk network (connections done with
TOPS products all the path). The main trouble is that my the print job often
fails and returns a message stating that "An impropriety was encountered in
PostScript code", or "Running out of Virtual memory" or some other nasty
replies. Either the PostScript code generated by NETPRINT is buggy (seems
bizare) or there another problem (dialog, link,...)

I've forgotten one thing: this happens when the file is somewhat big (say 50
or 100k) and if I split it into small chunks (equivalent to 5-6 printed
pages), all is perfect. Is NETPRINT unable to process serious files, or am I
missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help or pointer on infos.
