If I have posted this incorrectly, I apologize. My news poster is broken ... I Downloaded a copy of Ghostscript 2.5 and built it on a Sun running 4.1.2 to drive a HP Paintjet that I had lying around. Works great! Good job guys! Now for the hitch. The Mac users found out we had a "Color" printer available and now want to use it as well. So ... I down loaded a copy of netatalk 2.2.1 and built, configured and installed it, and everything works .. except it won't print anything from the Macs. Files gfo into the spooler properly, but nothing comes out the printer. I stoped the spooler and grabbed one of the data files and fed it to gs and it choked with the following messages: > Initializing... done. > Loading Times-Roman font from /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts/ptmr.gsf... > 686416 669172 1 done. > Loading Courier font from /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts/ncrr.gsf... > 746416 725458 1 done. > Loading Helvetica font from /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts/phvr.gsf... > 766416 764096 1 done. > %%[|0|]%%Error: /invalidfont in -dicttype- > Operand stack: > 272 14.9998 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 null null 0 0 0 1 0 > 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1.09596 0 -0 1.09596 32.8787 32.9746 > /Helvetica -dicttype- /Helvetica > Execution stack: > %interp_exit --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false > --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false --nostringval-- --nostringval-- > --nostringval-- false --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- > --nostringval-- --nostringval-- > Dictionary stack: > 461/479 14/200 238/270 11/25 461/479 12/12 > Ghostscript 2.5 (8/18/92) > Copyright (C) 1990, 1992 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. > All rights reserved. > Distributed by Free Software Foundation, Inc. > Ghostscript comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file LICENSE for details. > GS<38> I thought possibly it was because I had a bad procset file, but after downloading macps and using prepfix on it. I still get the same error. Can somebody give me a pointer on what I am doing wrong? Or, better yet tell me how to do this correctly? Any help would be appreciated. Please reply back directly to me as I do not regulary read this newsgroup. Again, Good Job guys you have made a really neat program! It finally made my deskjet at home a viable UNIX printer for me. =========================================================================== Mark Holm markh@analogy.com -or- Analogy ..sun!nosun!analogy!markh P.O.

I had the same problem (originating with Mac output) and 2.5.2 doesn't give the "/invalidfont in -dicttype." However, I do get the "%%[|0|]%%" string repeated many times with 2.5.2. -- James Darrell McCauley Dept of Ag Engineering, Purdue Univ internet: mccauley@ecn.purdue.edu West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-1146 bitnet: mccauley%ecn@purccvm UUCP: ..pur-ee!mccauley
