The first para says not to print raster files produced from PostScript
"IF THEY CONTAIN RASTERIZATIONS OF THE 57 FOLIO FONTS" but subpara (b)
claims to prohibit it entirely.  Which am I to believe?

We have a colour raster printer and wish to be able to print PostScript
files on it (mainly from FrameMaker).  We will not be printing anything
we cant already print on our PostScript printer but hopefully we will be
able to get it in colour.

Does ps2bits work for coloured PostScript files?

What were the fixes required for ps2bits to work? (Sorry, I missed that posting)

Thanks, John.
