Hi,

I have a problem to use a postscript printer as a postscript printer under VMS.
The printer is a Brother HL-10PS, it is connected serial with the DECserver200 
and everything is working fine as long as I use it as a text printer, but as
soon as I send a postscript file or I connect it to a queue created with DEC's 
CPS-software, it doesn't print anything. If it is connected to a text queue, 
the printer tells me IGNORE DATA. If it is connected to a CPS queue, it takes
sometime and then the queue is stalled.


Any help or idea, how to solve this problem is appreciated.

Happy New Year

Lars
