It turns out that NewSprint 2.0 (out "soon" according to the Sun support person,
no idea on when "soon" is) can print files generated by a NeXT. Looks like
we'll need the update.
**ORIGINAL REQUEST:
SITUATION:
Sun SPARC Printer being served from a Sparc 2. Printer serves Sun 3/50's,
ELC's, Sparc 2's, and 1 NeXT machine.
Software:
SunOS 4.1.1
NeWSprint 1.0
OpenWindows 2.0
NeWSprint interpreter version 2.1
NeXT: Uses PS-Adobe-2.0
PROBLEM:
PostScript files generated by the NeXT cause the following error message
from the SPARC printer:
%%[ Error: Message: Process: 0x29feb4 (Unnamed process) Error: undefined
Stack: /Times-Roman vm('X11/NeWS server pool')
Executing: sharedvm
At: {currentvm *sharedvm 'eq'}
In: {'pop' *currentshared}
In: {/currentshared 'where' array{2} array{1} *'ifelse' array{2} array{24} 'ifelse'}
In: Reading file(?,W,R)
/Times-Roman vm('X11/NeWS server pool')
]%%
The manuals imply that if you can use pageview to preview the file,
then the file should successfully print. From OpenWindows, with the
pageview command, I can successfully preview the postscript file.
This file prints successfully on our QMS and Apple Lasers but not on
the SPARC printer.
