577.0. "postscript print in WPS-PLUS v4" by MSAM01::SOWWAN () Mon Apr 27 1992 11:38

    HI,
    	I have a customer currently using ALL-IN-1 V2.4 and WPS-PLUS v4.
    	She has a Postscript file created in CorelDraw on the PC and this
    file conforms to Adobe standard.
    	In VMS, this EPS file can print fine with the qualifier
    			"/Param=data_type=Postscript".
        However, when try to print this EPS file in ALL-IN-1, nothing gets
    printed.
    	She did manage to print WPS-Plus supplied EPS on the network
    printer or the locally attached printer (eg World.eps)
    	Any suggestions?
    	Thank you!	
    
    Regards.

I'm not a PostScript expert but I thought that .EPS files can only be 
printed when referenced from a normal .PS file.  What type of file is 
created by CorelDraw, and exactly what steps are used from VMS to print it?

Was the file placed into the ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet as a document?

What steps did the customer use to print the file from ALL-IN-1?

How did the user print the WPS-PLUS supplied EPS file?  Was it by referring 
to it from a WPS-PLUS document?

    Hi Richard,
    	Thanks for your response.
    	CorelDraw conforms to Adobe standard, according to customer!
    	In VMS, this file is printed using
    $PRINT/PARAM=DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT ....
    	In ALL-IN-1, the steps as in Pg 8-18 WPS-PLUS User's Reference are
    followed but nothing is printed.  However, when the WPS-Plus EPS
    library file (eg. World.EPS) is selected, it prints well.
    	Thanks!
    Regards.
