I am trying to attach a dj 560 to my AlphaStation 200 4/100. It is running
OSF/1 V3.2. I have told the lprsetup program that it is a la75of printer
(at DEC's recommendation). It now prints text files OK but won't print
PS files either if I send them directly to the printer (lpr file.ps) or
convert them to djet500, cdj550, deskjet or cdeskjet formats using ghostscript.
It spews out a message saying 'file contains unprintable data' and logs it.
Here is a sample of the log:

I want to be able to print colour PS files on this printer. How do I set it
up? Your help would be most appreciated.
