POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS



A few weeks ago I reported a problem printing page ranges to a file with a
postscript printer driver loaded. If I ask for pages 1-2, I get page 1 but not
2, if I ask for 1-3, I get 1 & 2 but not 3....I don't have a solution but at
least now I know the problem. According to the page end string in the printer
driver, there's supposed to be a showpage, restore and save commands - but when
you print a range the last page only gets the restore and not the showpage. I
edited the FO.TMP file and added these 2 commands, and I got all the pages I
had asked for. So.... Another quirk I'm experiencing is that if I want to print
the LAST few pages of a document, XyWrite doesn't seem to read the PC1 command
at the beginning (which switches to landscape) so the pages come out portrait.
Or worse, and I don't know how it happened, the text is landscape but the
header is portrait. Am I missing something?
