1828.0. "V2 printscreen/sixel/color problem" by PRSSOS::PRONIER () Fri Dec 01 1989 10:30

    
    
    We have just experiment a new problem using the print screen
    capability with  DECwindows V2 / VMS 5.3 .
    
    When the customize print screen options -sixel and color- have
    been selected (as it should be to print on a LJ250) the file
    produced appears to be a POSTSCRIPT file ....( unprintable on 
    the LJ250).
    When the options  -Sixel and black/white- is used, everything
    works fine.
    
    A lot of customer are expecting a bug free Print screen in V2
    (specially the ones using LJ250 printers) and it seems urgent
    to fix it.
    
    Regards,

I have XDPS installed to pre-view files before useing or HOWELL COLOR POSTSCRIPT
printer. Will V2 support COLOR Postscript?

(I attempted .0 as well and...)
The resulting file is a mix of POSTSCRIPT and SIXEL DATA. 
It wont print anywhere.
