This isn't really a Mathematica question, but it is related to Jack K. Cohen's
post offering calculus teaching materials via anonymous ftp from Colorado
School of Mines. I am having difficulty printing the files out on our
LaserWriter and am hopeful that someone more experienced at this sort of thing
can give me a hand.
Here's what I have done: I successfully downloaded the file
Projects.300dpi.ps.tar.Z (and also Projects.400dpi.ps.tar.Z, with which I had
the same problem) to my Mac SE/30. I decompressed it with MacCompress,
yielding a file with a ps.tar extension. I don't know anything about tar, but
I looked at the file with a word processor and it appears to me to be a
PostScript file. I tried printing it with both Drop-PS (a freeware program I
picked up recently at Sumex) and OZTeX (using the Send PostScript... command);
both printed the first page (which confirms my guess that despite the tar
extension it is a PostScript file), and then quit. Drop-PS gave no indication
of what the problem was, but OZTeX provided the following error message:
*** POSTSCRIPT ERROR ***
%%[ Error: invalidrestore; OffendingCommand: restore ]%%
%%[ Flusing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
