For starters, I would get a copy of a PostScript exception handler (If you want, I can send you a copy of the one that I use, it is in the public domain). You may also be seeing a problem with flow control and character settings between the printer and the terminal server. I hope that the above is helpful. If I have been unclear, or if I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me by email or phone. - Bob +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Robert "Bob" Gezelter E-Mail: gezelter@rlgsc.com | | Robert Gezelter Software Consultant Voice: +1 718 463 1079 | | 35-20 167th Street, Suite 215 Fax: (on Request) | | Flushing, New York 11358-1731 | | United States of America | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
