UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I am trying to convert my file containing a image file (bmp,jpg, or gif ) into a postscript format on solaris.
I have configured the printer with following configuration,
PrinterName : psPrinter
Print Server : "machine name"
Printer Port : /dev/null
Printer Type : Postscript
File Contents: any
and the other options are default

I have configured a "QMS ColorScript 1000 Level 1" printer on my windows system and am using this ppd file on unix for conversion.
(I have converted the file using dos2unix).

When i give a print to file command, it does not give the desired output, in the sense if my file is 6 pages long, the ps file shows as 2 pages. Both the pages have the same content expect for the first page does not have the image intially when i move forward and then come back on page one it does show up.

I get the following error when i try to print that documnt
%%[Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show;
near position 171965 in currentfile ] %%
]%%
(OSTACK)
-savelevel-
(Amex)
(ESTACK)
{??}
//stopped
-filestream-
{//grestore}
//show
{error/initializing //get {handleerror} //if //stop }
(DSTACK)
-systemdict-
-userdict-
-dictionary-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job(to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
**Error: PostScriptJobAborted
-- Empty document

I have to get the output in ps level 1 format. What could be the problem, the images or the printer driver


PS: It works perfectly on windows system.

Have you tried using Image Viewer application (comes with Solaris) to send the print job from?

You might want to post your printer setting (from the UNIX side) or insure you have it using the correct filters. You can use the admintool for this.
