Re: Converting MS Word to postscript



I have tried printing to file from the Windows box, and it ouputs a .prn
file, which is apparently of type:

> steve@gashuffer:~$ file Resume.prn
> Resume.prn: HP Printer Job Language data

I'm more interested in what's in the file, rather than what "file" thinks.
I don't have a postscript driver installed right now for my HP, I'm using
the PCL driver.  As I recall, when I use the postscript driver the file has
a couple of HP-specific lines in it to kick the printer into postscript
mode, followed by the postscript.  If you're in fact using a postscript
driver, you probably only have to remove a couple of lines from the
beginning.  Perhaps you should show us the first 5 lines of the file.
