The little header at the beginning of the postscript file leads me to believe this. Example: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: A2ps version 4.3 %%CreationDate: Fri Jan 12 01:51:47 1996 %%Pages: (atend) %%DocumentFonts: Courier Courier-Bold Helvetica Helvetica-Bold %%EndComments My Lexmark Optra R+ printer emulates PostScript level 2. Is there a way to generate this or am i SOL. Many Thanks -- ð$
