Dear mathgroup I read the replies to Nick Fann's question about printing Mma postscript files with interest. I have had, and continue to have, a similar problem. I use Mma 2.0 locally on a mac and port postscript versions of my notebooks or graphics to a sun workstation which also runs Mma 2.0. I generate the postscript files on the mac by selecting the Print option from the File menu and then selecting the Postscript option from the Print dialog. These postscript files fail to print on a Laserwriter attached to our ethernet, whether or not I run psfix on the sun. I have had no problems with this method with any other application. If I append a showpage command to the end of the postscript file I get a blank output page. I have checked that the postscript files are properly terminated. I have system 7.0 on the mac and I switch background printing off to ensure I get the EOF. I would value any suggestions at this stage. Alastair McLean
